Marriage
is one of those ever changing contracts. It’s never the same for it changes
every moment that you commit to the well being of your partner.
Love, as
it is perceived through the union of marriage, is ever expanding provided it is
nurtured with courtesy, communication and kindness. How many of us, whether we
are one day married or 50 years married, remember to say thank you for even the
very simple courtesies. Cooking dinner, looking nice, taking out the garbage,
struggling to make it better, the list goes on and on.
Marriage can be, should be, the constant
exponential appreciation of the other if we see our partner through the eyes of
wonder.
And
wonder becomes radiant and lasting when we give rather than demand and when we
appreciate rather than expect.
That is why I say a public thank you to my
wife Ann today on our 49th wedding anniversary.
