Some of us who've been married a long time may feel that we are experienced makes us an expert on marriage bliss. We certainly can learn from newlyweds too. In fact the magic of that relationship should be continued as long as...we're both still on earth! When two people are in truly in love, they will care deeply for each other and cherish every moment together. Secondly true love means their relationship will possess the character of the good one does to the other. How can two people with that simple characteristic be anything but best friends...for life? I'm married to my best friend who thinks she's blessed, well my thinking's mutual too. We actually knew each other for 13 years before we tied the knot.
A successful marriage requires falling in love with the same person...many many times. If possible court your spouse over and over again in a different manner. There are so many creative was you we can think of, various avenues that we can source from. In a prior blog, I mentioned emulating kids - that same feeling and attitude in our relationship is the secret to gelling it for a long long time.
I'm glad I'm blessed with my true love that will accept me for who I am, what I do and what I believe in. It’s priceless.

Favoritism
May seem weird why this subject is included right? Read along, I'm sure you'll agree with me this is one of the key steps in our development years that can manifest itself in later years.
A friend of mine said she was very glad to see no favoritism in her father in law towards his 3 sons. The 3 sons, having families of their own loved each other dearly and have very little misunderstandings between them. This grandfather didn't display any favoritism towards the grandchildren too despite one of the sons not having any daughters. All of them get along so well including the daughter in laws.
No one likes to compare, right. I know of another friend who has a younger brother who gets everything he wants even when he's not mature enough to have it...to the dissatisfaction of the sister. Over the years living under this "favoritism" has made here bitter towards her brother. Even after marriage, she never gave in to the brother as a form of vendetta. This took a long time and was painful to overcome.
In our married relationship - our upbringing can pose a threat to it and if not checked it can ruin a happy family. We're here to build this journey today and tomorrow, so let it be our desire to be fair to all in the family.
Your kids will love you and appreciate you for this.
