1. Focus on the good in one another.
2. Cherish small moments.
3. Be vulnerable.
4. Repair and laugh.
Trust. Feel like you can fall backwards and have loving, nonjudgmental arms to catch you. Be dependable, responsible and accountable to each other.
"Let's find a moment, daily, to surprise each other with a kiss, a DEEP one."
"This is, after all, where it ALL began, the desire, then the yearning, then the waiting...."
"And let us each unexpectedly – you or me – plant (definition: set in the ground for growth) a deep kiss. Let’s remember how it began."
"It is as simple as that and it IS as powerful as that, and as simple. Now, each day we seek and plan, (and sometimes miss – ahhh, LIFE!) to find the surprise, to seek the unexpected, to linger in the remembered in a kiss “a thousand kisses deep”."
"That first kiss can be animated daily. And it does, indeed, still set off the delicious, exquisite realm of possibilities."
marriage IS: the good, the bad, the highlights and low points, the unexpected. And the most important thing to surviving and sustaining the journey is to embrace it all. This is the trip you agreed to take, wanted to take, chose to take. And if you let it, this is the trip that will offer you the greatest fulfillment. As long as you sit back, stay on the road, and stay open to the possibilities.
