The Art of Marriage

A good marriage must be created.

In marriage the little things are the big things...

It is never being too old to hold hands.

It is remembering to say "I love you " Often.

It is the beauty of a loving, committed bond:

emotional, social, spiritual, physical oneness.

It is never going to sleep angry.

It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives.

It is standing together facing the world.

It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family.

It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude and thoughtful ways.

It is the capacity to forgive and forget.

It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow.

It is the joy of knowing the Lord together.

It is not only marrying the right person-

it is being the right partner.
