Honestly most marriages start off fine. Everyone is in love and happy! Then life starts to kick in. People get busy, stressed,and overloaded. Then come the kids- mom get totally wrapped up in them and the family is stretching to it's limits to keep it together.
This is a critical point in many marriages. Mom and Dad need to stop realize that they are drifting apart. Can you remember when you first fell in love how yo longed to be together? Many couples will let things slide and have their whole relationship revolve around their kids. One day the kids are grown up and mom and dad realize they do not even know each other anymore. Like most journeys this happens a little at a time and perhaps almost imperceptibly at first. The time is now my friends to spend the time, to pay attention, to rekindle the sparks.
Love takes work. Remembering to go the extra mile to show you care. And the little things count for so much- I would call up my wife un-expectantly and sing " I just called to say I love you"- trust me it was not the voice that made her smile but the heart. Sow love into your marriage!
Many blessings, Larry.
