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.

Perserverence Part II
This is in reference to the post on Nov 11.
Let's imagine we're running a long distance race (21 km) instead of a marathon (42 km, in order to get to the finish line won't we have to push ourselves and tell our body and mind that we can do it? We will sum up the energy and courage to complete the race trying to finish within a certain number or timing. When we achieve that, we feel elated and tell ourselves "I've done it, YES!" Certainly that involves plenty of time, dedicated practice, pain and courage.
Let's put that into our marriages context - isn't this a race too that we want to run till the end? But why is it that most couples take the easy way out of breaking up upon onset of few misunderstanding? Instead of ironing out the differences, we provoke and hurt each other further, eventually imploding within ourselves and forget about how we actually took time to build the strong foundation of togetherness before. Goals built together seem so distant now and eventually falls apart.
I'm sure all of us love our other half just as ourselves. Let's use that time, dedicated practice, pain and courage to see & work out to the completion of this wonderful journey we were committed to initially.
