Happiness
in marriage is not something that just happens.
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" at least once a
day.
It is never going to sleep angry.
It is at no time taking the other for granted; the
courtship should not end with the honeymoon, it should
continue through all the years.
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 doing things for each other, not in the attitude
of duty or sacrifice,
but in the
spirit of joy.
It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating
gratitude in thoughtful ways.
It is not looking for perfection in each other.
It is cultivating flexibility, patience, understanding
and a sense of humour.
It is having the capacity to forgive and forget.
It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can
grow.
It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.
It is establishing a relationship in which the
independence is equal, dependence is mutual and the
obligation is reciprocal.
It is not only marrying the right partner, it is being
the right partner
