  THE ART OF MARRIAGE

In the art of marriage, the little things ARE the big things.

It is never being too 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 having mutual interests 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 demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways.

 It is finding room for the things of the spirit.

It is giving to each other space in which each can grow.

It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.

It is not only marrying the right person, it is being the right person.
