Marriage=Work??!!
When I was talking to a friend the other day, she told me that her and her husband were going to go to a Weekend to Remember. I said “That’s great!”
Then she made a comment that got me thinking. She said “We need to take time to work on us.”
I replied, “You need to do that everyday.”
As I ws talking to Dan about that conversation, he pointed out that a lot of times couples don’t even talk to each other daily. When things are going well, they seem to think they have it all together, and let the relationship sail (smoothly they hope), without much direction or interference- after all, why fix something if it isn’t broke, right?
WRONG!!
Marriage is something that needs to be constantly directed. It needs to be monitored and helped along with two people at the wheel…every day!
When one lets go, the direction the marriage is desired to go in, may sway and go off course alittle. When both let go, the little thigns become bigger, faster, and can make a ruin of it if not stopped.
The good news is, you can take back control by deciding that you want to make it work and go in a certain direction….together.
It will take both people to gain and maintain a happy marriage. One can’t do it alone for very long. As things get better, keep your eyes peeled for signs of danger….not spending enough time together, not talking enough, being insensitive, romancing and lovemaking dwindling…..these are all warning signals.
Make a commitment to each other that you will say so if you notice any of these things or others that might be important to your relationship.
Marriage is work, but it is the most worthwhile thing to work for.
