Yet ANOTHER reading!

I just keep finding good ones!

Happiness in Marriage (aka - The Art of Marriage)
Two readers alternated lines.


Happiness in Marriage is not something that just happens. A good marriage must be created. In the art of marriage the little things are the big things…

It is never being to old to hold hands.
It is remembering to say “I love you” at least once a day.
It is never going to sleep angry.
It is at no time taking the other for granted.
It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives; it is standing together facing the world
It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family
It is doing things for each other, not in the attitude of duty or sacrifice, but in the spirit of joy.
It is speaking words of appreciation and deomonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways
It is not looking for perfection in each other, but cultivating flexibility, patience, understanding and a sense of humor.
It is having the capacity to forgive and forget
It is giving each other an atmosphere in which they can grow
It is finding room for things of the spirit. It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.
It is establishing a relationship in which “the independence is equal, the dependence is mutual and the obligation is reciprocal.”
It is not only marrying the right partner, it is being the right partner.
It is discovering that marriage at its best is described in the words Mark Twain used in a tribute to his wife: “Wherever she was, there was Eden.”
