I'm in love. I have been in love with the same woman for over 10 years now and it is moments like this that I am reminded of my love for her.
Constant love in a world where trading wives is like super sizing your fast food, is a rare thing. It is this type of love that I think is needed today in the world. we need to have people show that they can continue to love someone in the good times and bad times. We need to sow our kids that just because rough times may come, we just don't quit on the relationship.
Now there have been times where it has been rough. Anyone that has been married will tell you there are times when you ask if this is really all worth it. So I have come to the conclution that it is not how good you love, but how fair you fight. This is the hardest thing about being married. It is so much easier to go for the kill shot when fighting with your spouse than to be fair and keep to why you are fighting.
Our kids will learn these lessons from us as well. Kids watch parents fight and pickup on what to do from us. If we give them a good example of how to resolve conflict it will only help them when they have relationships of their own. We need to think of it as laying ground work for the future. Young people today don't know how to resovle conflict and how to have productive relationships with anyone. Or fast food society and Flash in the pan culture doesn't help kids understand commentment or that something is for life. the only thing they know that is for life is prison.
I posted a picture of a book that is a good read and was rcommended to me. I now show it to the world of the internet.
