Make it Last! t
After nearly 19 years of marriage, I’ve learned that staying power is not just about one set of traits or characteristics. What it takes to maintain a healthy marriage has foundational fundamentals but there are aspects that are added, enhanced or removed as needed. People grow and cheange and married couples are no different. You can’t wrap your spouse up in the exact “wrapping paper and bow” you put on him or her 10 years ago or 3 years ago, for that matter. As they grow and change so should how you secure their “packaging.” A marriage is what I like to call a stable continuum. You and your spouse know you’ll be there for one another no matter what but through the years, how that looks for the two of you in relationship with one another includes adjustments. Ean and L.
