Man smiles at this paragraph.

Women were created to be loved. Not to be controlled or put on the shelf after marriage. Men were created to rule over the animals over the land and women were made to help the men; not for one day or one week. For an entire life the two become a team. They support each other and they love/desire one another.

When two become married, they are each others to focus on each other and to rely on their happiness in the hard times, their skills in parenting and to love each other.

It is so hard to remember that when you are in love that you don’t get to sit back and relax. You have to, as you have said Jeff, “chase” the one you love. It is a key aspect of loving someone. To make that person worthy of being chased; to make them feel special and loved.

This is quite a tribute to love in the matrimonially sense. A lot of people wonder why some marriages last 70 years and you summed it up nicely. Those trials are always there and will always be there. Not a one of us is good enough for each other with out the love and passion through God. Thanks for writing that. It’s something I have and will always strive for better on. Love is beyond just a commitment and it’s something that is welded together, it is beyond the emotion and life that we live. So, thanks for this. It kind of reminds me of the movie Fireproof. Really great weathering movie for couples. Well thanks again for your marks and have a great day.

After 25 years of marriage, as of November 17, YEAH, I can say one thing about our marriage… we are still chasing each other all the time. Over the 25 years we have been married we have jumped hurdles together, we have weathered storms and we have conquered the biggest of monsters, but most of all it was all done by WE… together we have made this marriage work with the help and love of our Lord. Together we have also always made time to be together!! We have raised three wonderful children, but two of them have already left home to be on their own and our daughter is 17 and will soon be going to college. When the children grow up and move on, you and your spouse are alone again…. don’t be left with a stranger!!
It takes three to make a marriage work… it takes you, your spouse and our Lord!
love each other with all your heart!
