Iwas reflecting on our marriage and I wondered... "What makes it work"? We are not perfect, we don't agree on all things, and westill work through issues even after being married fornearly thirty-six years. Thirty-six years. I didn't spend a lot of time answering my own question. I did, however, quickly jot down a few ideas about what has"made it work" for us. MAKE YOUR OWN APPLICATIONS You make your own observations and applications. Apply what I have written to your marriage, mental "Should Iever marry" list, insights on being a friend -- or"whatever."

MORE COULD BE SAID Yes, more could be said. But? This was a quick list, remember? MY OBSERVATIONS..."WHAT HAS WORKED FOR US" We share the same core values. We agree about "what matters most." We listen. We pray for each other. We *love* all that it means to be a family. We try to heal, not hurt. We go on dates -- often. We laugh. We work through pain together. We give each other space. We are lovers. "YOU'RE ON" Translated, it is your turn. Your ideas are... Your insights are... Your impressions are... Your applications are... =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Avoid pain/create pleasure. For A Beautiful Moment In Time
