Marriage is the hardest institution to be in. We hear in the media that marriage is in decline, not many people are opting for the ball and chain. This is a hard one because Love is not enough, not these days. A generation ago people stayed married ' til death us do part.' It didn't matter what life threw at them they stuck together. I am reminded that this year my parents will have been married 50 years. I know that it was more than love that has kept them together. They may not have had an easy time of it, but 50 years is quite an achievement especially these days. Have you got what it takes when the rose tinted spectacles come off to go the distance? When those once cute little habits and ways become irritating to the point of annoyance. ? Or the bank balance isn't as full as it once was prior to tying the knot.
It is one thing to catch a spouse, but quite another to keep them. The misconception is that once the ring is on the finger that's the end of it. wives tend to not bother to keep themselves looking good for their man, and men tend to let go of the respect, and fall into the trap of complacency. They forget what attracted them to their woman in the first place and she begins to feel unappreciated and undervalued. Here lies the root to the wandering eye and seed of temptation.
Sometimes love is just not enough, you have to want the best for your spouse. The wife needs to feel that she is the most important person in her husband's life, they need to be an asset to each other so that they compliment each other in every way. Each others needs ought to be considered even though it may not suit you. Marriage is about making each other laugh, but also sharing those tough times without reacting to things being said that might cause offence. It is also being patient with each other. For when the time comes when crisis and trauma hits, and it will, is your marriage for life?
