People have asked how it is we are still in love and together after many years of marriage. Thoughts:
46 years ago we were virtual strangers when we married. The biggest influence in my life had been my mother. My parents demonstrated their belief in marriage daily. Their priorities were: Love your spouse, love your children, do the best you can to provide the example.
So, I met him, loved him and promised to always have him first in my heart. He received this approach. He embraced it. I am first in his heart. We, as a team, put our kids first. This is not an old fashioned mind set – it is a successful mind set.
Our 46 years are comprised of accommodation, understanding, joys and sadness. We survived all because we survived together. When I am at my lowest he reaches a hand out with love. Things get better. When he is overwhelmed or feeling lost my hand is there to share all . Things get better. Heart breaking adversity is met together and our marriage grows stronger. Unspeakable joys come along and are better because we share them.
