I decided to share these, as they can be useful
and stress relieving for pre-wedding jitters.  

These 9 insights have made us a significant difference, 
and we have enjoyed ​a long and happy marriage. 

Marriages are like trees, they start out small and over time,
grow to be a large, stable trunk, on which we can lean for support.
  

​​Unconditional Mutual Love – Marriage is the beginning of a profound relationship.  It will take on a life of its’s own.  And it will transform, and become what you both put into it and create it to be.  Think of it as your personal oyster, to nurture and take care of first and foremost.   The more you are both willing to overlook each others faults and the more unconditional your love is for each other, the stronger your love will grow and flourish.   

Authentic Honesty – It is imperative, you be honest with each other.  Do not compromise on this. If either of you strays from this, your relationship will suffer.  Honesty creates trust.  Trust creates the tremendous feeling of security, the joy of knowing you absolutely have each other’s back. 

Genuine Respect – Respect is a key element in any relationship, and most certainly marriage.  Respect creates an admiration of and for one another.  Respect towards each other builds a strong pillar and support system, on which your marriage can stand the tests of time.    Understand, you are a reflection of each other.  ​

Best Friends – Be best friends!  Share deep conversations, concerns, hopes, dreams, fears, difficulties.  Communication is paramount to knowing what each of you wants and needs.  The more easily and often you communicate, the more peace and stability you will enjoy. 

​Liberal Forgiveness – Be strong enough, brave enough and loving enough to easily and often, offer forgiveness.   Always remember these  10 profound words, - "You can either be right, or you can be happy!"   
​

​ Courage to be true to yourself – Stand for the things that make a fundamental difference to you, and have the courage to let go of the things that don’t.  Remember, you are two very different individuals who live completely separate lives.  Separate realities – separate realities recognize each of you will be living completely different lives every day.  From the time you get up in the morning, until you go to bed at night, you will each be dealing with different tasks, people, spaces, experiences, on and on.  Once you understand the significance of separate realities, and embrace the fun of the differences, you can enjoy each other’s lives and experiences.  Share your experiences, and learn together from them.  It will be another strength in your union.    
​  

​Outstanding Commitment – You both must want this marriage to last through the good times and the bad.  Life pretty much guarantees you will have both, as life is a journey.  Enjoy the journey, and if you look to each other as you go through the highs and lows together, you can and will enjoy a long, beautiful, love filled life.   Always celebrate and enjoy the good times, as this can give you strength for the trying times.

​Simple Laughter -  Laugh together easily and often.  Laughter is an amazing glue and healer.   Enjoy!  Life is too short to live without lots of laughter.  It will benefit you and your relationship immensely. 

Personal God - Look to God and thank Him every day for his Presence, guidance and all the blessings in your life individually and on your lives as one.  Have a personal relationship with God aside from religion.  The more you look to him for guidance, the more he will be there for you.    It can and will make a significant difference in your individual lives and on your lives together.

Sharing your life with your chosen one,  is intended to add
joy and comfort throughout your lives.

​​Create a home where you both feel comfortable and at ease.  Your home  can and should be your safe place.
