A marriage that lasts beyond all else

Love. When one person loves another, love in the true sense of the word-and you make a covenant with that person; I don't believe that bond dies with death. Unfortunately, some marriage bonds get cut before there is a true understanding about one another-through an easy-no fault divorce. There are  many good reasons why some marriages fail. But there are more that didn't even get a fair chance. I may be old fashioned in my thinking, but I think it is very sad. There are no classes to teach us what it takes to be in a good marriage. Most young people these days think that "love" is that chemical infused passion you get when you first fall in lust with each other. Then when the feeling subsides and you get tired of being around each other...you split. You rush off to find another person to rev up those intense feelings with. On the contrary~
When you marry the one you love and time goes by and those intense feelings rumble down; that is when the real deep love is ready to grow. A marriage is like a safe- that holds all that's valuable and precious to you, under lock and key. It's contents is only as good as what you 'both' put into it. If one of you keeps putting in valued items like, time, acts of love and care, conversation. special fun things for the other ( like a dinner out to celebrate your loved ones birthday so they know how special they are to you )

 

Or just cuddling and sharing a warm moment, and being a support when things are rough..... but the other one just keeps taking the stuff out of the safe- it will eventually become empty. The safe has to be filled with love/works from both parties to build its contents of worth. Then locked to keep others from stealing out of it.

I believe it's important to keep your marriage sacred because there are others out there who would come into your space and like a thief who is jealous of what you possess, pick the lock and take away what you worked at so hard to preserve.

Real true love is hard to come by. You have to both have faith. You both need to nourish it and not take it for granted. I am a big believer in also smiling and laughing with each other-be each others best friend. Be mates for life. Have each others back at all times. Wake up thinking " what can I do today to make this person I love, smile inside and out?"

 I have found that there is a 'forever'. I've seen it with my own eyes. I believe it is possible, even for me. I had to go through a learning process, a trial and error, an awakening of what real spiritual, positive, patient working love looks like. We must not take our commitments lightly. We must help the younger generation understand that the love bonds of marriage take work, love and persistence, support and forgiveness  time and time again, never ending. It's what they mean by * it's a labor of love*. There is no sweeter job I would so desire than to have a love that is forever and always~

 

Love IS the answer~

Peace out my friends~
