Marriage…

I have been thinking lately about what makes for an enjoyable and harmonious marriage.

Our son is getting married this weekend so needless to say, the subject is on my mind. There are many recipes for everything in life,
and this is what I have come up with as a recipe for marriage.
Please know that I have left out mentioning laughter,
only because it is the icing on the cake! 

APPRECIATION…
to wake up each morning and fully appreciate the person next to you.

RESPECT …
to respect and lovingly embrace each other’s differences.

RESPONSIBILITY…
to be responsible for your own happiness. To know that you are responsible for your response to everything, and therefore there is never blame or burden on your partner. 

That’s all for now. 
I will be taking a short break from writing,
as I set out to fully enjoy the next few days of celebrating life’s greatest gift
…LOVE!
