THE ART OF MARRIAGE

A good marriage must

be created.  In marriage, the

little things are the big things.

It's never being too old to hold

hands.  It is remembering to say 

I love you at the end of each day.

It is never going to bed angry.  It is

speaking words of appreciation and

demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful

ways.  It is having the capacity to forgive

and forget.  It is giving each other a safe 

place in which to grow.  It is not only

marrying the right person, it is being

the right partner. ~ Wilferd A. Peterson
