We Fail To Reckon With The Reality

The In-love Experience Does Not Focus On Our Own Growth Or On The Growth And Development Of The Other Person. Rather, It Gives Us The Sense That We Have Arrived And That We Do Not Need Further Growth.

Marriages Are Always Moving From One Season To Another. Sometimes We Find Ourselves In Winter--discouraged, Detached, And Dissatisfied; Other Times We Experience Springtime, With Its Openness, Hope, And Anticipation. On Still Other Occasions We Bask In The Warmth Of Summer--comfortable, Relaxed, Enjoying Life. And Then Comes Fall With Its Uncertainty, Negligence, And Apprehension. The Cycle Repeats Itself Many Times Throughout The Life Of A Marriage, Just As The Seasons Repeat Themselves In Nature.

I Would Encourage You To Make Your Own Investigation Of The One Whom, As He Died, Prayed For Those Who Killed Him: 'father Forgive Them For They Know Not What They Do.' That Is Love's Ultimate Expression.

True Love Cannot Begin Until The "in Love" Experience Has Run It's Course.

Another Reality About Relationships Is That They Are Never Static. All Of Us Experience Changes In Relationships But A Few Stop To Analyse Why A Relationship Gets Better Or Worse.
