A marriage is like a long trip in a tiny rowboat; if one passenger starts to rock the boat, the other has to steady it; otherwise, they will go to the bottom together.
Sticks and stones are hard on bones, Aimed with angry art, Words can sting like anything, But silence breaks the heart.
Assumptions are the termites of relationships.
Trouble is part of your life, and if you don’t share it, you don’t give the person who loves you enough chance to love you enough.
Like any other living, growing thing, love requires effort to keep it healthy.”
The other day I listened to someone say that they fell out of love with their spouse. Often when things get comfortable we can take each other for granted. We stop putting in the effort to make the relationship better, and we may even feel a loss of connection for our spouse. A commitment isn't about finding the faults in another, it's about working hard to be the best you can be together whether you feel like it or not. So many families are tossed to the wind just because marriages aren't like soap operas. I find this to be a great travesty in our society today. We throw everything away as soon as there is trouble instead of trying to find a solution. Marriages are like gardens and it does take two complete and healthy individuals to make a healthy marriage. When a struggle occurs within the marriage, you can get past it IF you both make an effort to do so. Even if one person seeks counseling, it's better to do that than to leave a relationship just because you've fallen out of love. Love requires nurturing and care to keep the flame burning. That requires dedication and certainly a commitment. Anything is possible, but first you must BELIEVE and then work at it.
Wishing you the very best for an awesome weekend!
Love and Peace,
Ann
