This is a snip from something posted on Tom's thread supposedly from Michelle. I just wanted to preserve so I am re-posting it on mine!
Quote: Working on your marriage means making the decision to be there in spirit, not necessarily to be head over heels in love when you start, but to invest yourself fully.
Working on your marriage means giving of yourself completely, putting your spouse’s needs before your own- and vise versa. It means quitting the game of keeping score. It means forgiving and letting go. Working on your marriage means focusing on people’s strengths and downplaying their shortcomings. It means not expecting to have all or even the majority of your needs satisfied by one person. It means vowing to have a full and satisfying life of your own so that you don’t blame your spouse unfairly about your unhappiness. It means appreciating the little things and overlooking life’s annoyances. It means recognizing that no one, not even you or me, is perfect.
Did I mention wow? Not anything I haven't heard before but it's nice to have it all right there in a tidy little couple paragraphs. Thank you bowtech!
