The secret to long lasting love is making dedicated time for one another a priority and never ceasing to ask the right questions. Establishing and maintaining a healthy marriage is hard. That's just a fact. A good marriage is not made by chance. It's a choice. Successful marriages are created every day through seemingly small acts of love, small gestures and words of affirmation. Learning about your partner is an ongoing action. Maintaining curiosity about who your partner is and sharing who you are is vital. No relationship is perfect. There will naturally be conflict. Conflict in its highest purpose illuminates and invites a deepening of connection, belonging, and safety. Love is a practice in how to express and receive loving attention.
