Lasting Love

Love is much more than a tender caress

and more than bright hours of happiness,

For a lasting love is made up of sharing

both hours that are joyous and also despairing.

It’s made up of climbing the steep hills together

and facing with courage life’s stormiest weather.

And nothing on earth or in heaven can part

a love that has grown to be part of the heart.

 And just like the sun and the stars and

 the sea, this love will go on through eternity,

For true love lives on when earthly things die,

for its part of the spirit that soars to the sky.

Foundations of Marriage
by Regina Hill

Love, trust, and forgiveness are the foundations of marriage.

 In marriage, many days will bring happiness, while other days

may be sad. But together, two hearts can overcome everything...

In marriage, all of the moments won't be exciting or romantic,

and sometimes worries and anxiety will be overwhelming. But together,

two hearts that accept will find comfort together.

Recollections of past joys, pains, and shared feelings will be the glue that holds

 everything together during even the worst and most insecure moments.

Reaching out to each other as a friend, and becoming the confidant

and companion that the other one needs, is the true magic and beauty

of any two people together.

It's inspiring in each other a dream or a

feeling, and having faith in each other and not giving up... even when

all the odds say to quit.

It's allowing each other to be vulnerable, to be

himself or herself, even when the opinions or thoughts aren't in total

agreement or exactly what you'd like them to be. It's getting involved

and showing interest in each other, really listening and being available,

the way any best friend should be.

Exactly three things need to be

remembered in a marriage if it is to be a mutual bond of sharing, caring,

 and loving throughout life: love, trust, and forgiveness.
