Little do we know, that’s what ever is occurring behind the closed doors of the ideal couples marriage would make our marriage look like perfection on Earth.
So what can we do. We can recognize that marriage is an equal opportunity phenomenon. Whatever our life creeds might be, we can establish a marital climate which results in bigger doses of faith in each other. We can develop and sustain our own private rituals so our daily, weekly, monthly and yearly routines can have more flavor and a little dab of that magic human ingredient……. anticipation.
Believe in each other and that could be the start of a fresh new chapter.
