This piece by an unknown author speaks such truth. From someone who was married for 47 years, I know it’s the truth! We went through it all and still stayed together. Young couples, older couples, all who are committed, or want to become more committed to their marriage, read on….

Any couple who has had a healthy marriage and has lasted 20, 30, or even 50 years did NOT stay happily married based off of luck.
They SACRIFICED
They FORGAVE
They REBUILT TRUST when it was broken
They kept DATING each other
They LISTENED
They APOLOGIZED
They GOT HELP when they were stuck
They MADE TIME for each other
They learned how to COMMUNICATE
They cared more about their marriage than their pride
Do not think you can have your happily ever after without some blood, sweat, and tears.
Couples have a good marriage because they WORK AT IT…. 365 days a year, every year of their marriage!
