Remember these six points:
1. You will feel in love and out of love many times while you are married because marriage is not survived on a feeling. It survives on a promise.
Your marriage vow is afforded through a promise. The feelings associated with the relationship will fade within two to three years. They will come periodically, but they are never consistent. As people grow, they change and as they change the relationship changes with them.
2. All the money in the world could not afford what you have together. Celebrate it.
Love can never be bought. The work it takes to stay in love can never be purchased. You should celebrate all that your marriage has endured, because great marriages are the result of great commitments.
3. Always remember where you started because things that seem like the end; find life when they remember the beginning.
There is nothing like the beginning, especially for relationships. The moment you met, the time you spent, and the way you felt was an experience that is to be held as a precious jewel to remind you of what your relationship is capable of. Revisit it often, especially when it feels like what you started is coming to an end.
4. My wife and I carved our names in a tree in the middle of this beautiful park. When I visited 10 years later, the tree had been cut down... so glad that what we carved on the tree had also been carved in our hearts.
Always take your love deeper than the experiences you have and let your love for one another be en-grafted on your hearts, because things around you will always be cut down.
5. Nothing teaches Love the way marriage does.
Life offers several opportunities to love and be loved, but none compare to that of marriage. Nothing loves the way marriage does. God made marriage to be enjoyable and to help us understand His relationship with His Church.
6. Your disagreements are always opportunities to see deeper into yourself.
The greatest challenges and conflicts you have open the door for you to see inside of your heart. Without them, there would be no opportunity for such an extraordinary experience. Take a good look inside yourself and change the things that you feel need to be changed. In doing so, you will change your life and your relationship.
