To stay together like your lovely couple takes work..and lots of love and more work. When I say work, I mean I'm usually working on improving myself and not my hubby! I sometimes wonder if I was a guy would I want to be married to me? Hmmm...well, back to more work!

The story of the nails in the fence is a great parable. Last Valentines Day, I posted an essay on my blog about staying together. The post was titled, "Living Beyond Cupid's Arrow."

And, that skillet scenario - oh, how many times that thought has entered my brain! Great parable too. So true.

But mostly you have to believe in and honor the commitment. That is what gives you the time to get through the stages of marriage.<br /><br />The 3 - 4 year mark, the 7 - 10 year mark; many couples don't survive those.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-49827533728372069462011-11-28T21:25:51.973-06:002011-11-28T21:25:51.973-06:00It does take a lot of patience and also acceptance...It does take a lot of patience and also acceptance of the other person to make a marriage last.
