Saving a Marriage
One
Small Step within a Big Process
There
are a million famous aphorisms about love
and saving a marriage. Here are just a few I plucked that
I thought you might appreciate.
"Grief can take care
of itself, but to get the
full value of joy, you must have somebody to
divide it with."
- Mark Twain
"No man is truly
married until he understands
every word his wife is NOT saying."
- unknown
"The one thing we can
never get enough of is
love. And the one thing we never give enough is
love."
- Henry Miller (1891-1980)
"All's fair in love
and war."
- Francis Edward Smedley
"One word frees us of
all the weight and pain in
life. That word is love."
- Sophocles
"Love is an
irresistible desire to be
irresistible desired."
- Robert Frost
"If I can stop one
heart from breaking, I shall
not live in vain."
- Emily Dickinson
Some of the above may
have struck a cord with you
and some not. And that's the way it is with old
adages, isn't it? Sometimes we read it and say,
"Yes. That's so true!" But other times we read
them and say, "What in the world does that mean?"
Or it just falls flat for us and has no special
meaning.
Your assignment is to
find the PERFECT
aphorism for your spouse. Find one that you just
know will resonate with them. And then print it
out, write it in a card, or email it to them with
a short note "Thought you'd appreciate this" or
"Thinking of you."
The key to this
assignment is finding the RIGHT
quote...the one your spouse will connect with. You
want them to read it and say to themselves, "Yes,
that's perfect for us."
The nice thing about
this assignment is that no
matter what the state of your marriage, you can
do this.
