Marrige: Bond That Matures Very Slowly - - Expression of Love is Important for a Successful Married Life

“What a happy and holy fashion it is that those who love one another should rest on the same pillow.”  

                                                      (Nathaniel Hawthorne)

“Strike an average between what a woman thinks of her husband a month before she marries him and what she thinks of him a year afterward, and you will have the truth about him.”       (H.L. Mencken)

“The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds - they mature slowly.”      

                                                 (Peter De Vries)

“I love being married.  It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.”                                                (Rita Rudner)

“Marriage, n.  A community consisting of a master, a mistress, and two slaves, making in all two. ”                                                (Ambrose Bierce)

“Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut, and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.”          (George Bernard Shaw)

“Newlyweds become old weds, and old weds are the reasons that families work.”  (Author Unknown)

“How you end something as profound and important as a marriage is a reflection of how you live your life--financially, emotionally, and spiritually”.                 (Suze Orman)

“When most people enter marriage, they have only had an "up close and personal" view of a small number of marriages, perhaps only one (i.e., their parents' marriage). Although you likely have known many married people throughout your lifetime, your vision of most marriages is limited to the images that the couples project to the world. You can never really know what another person's marriage is like behind closed doors. Therefore, most people enter into marriage with gaps in their understanding of what marriage entails.”                (Christine. Murray)

“Marriages are always moving from one season to another. Sometimes we find ourselves in winter--discouraged, detached, and dissatisfied; other times we experience springtime, with its openness, hope, and anticipation. On still other occasions we bask in the warmth of summer--comfortable, relaxed, enjoying life. And then comes fall with its uncertainty, negligence, and apprehension. The cycle repeats itself many times throughout the life of a marriage, just as the seasons repeat themselves in nature.”                                        (Gary D. Chapman)

“A good marriage is good for you. That isn't just a platitude. Mounting research shows that it is the literal truth. When your marriage is healthy, your body and mind are healthier.”             
                                                              (Cliff Isaacson)

Today I married my best friend,
Our bond complete, it hath no end,
We share one soul, we share one heart,
A perfect time - a perfect start.

With these rings we share together,
Love so close to last forever,
This special day - two special hearts,
Let nothing keep this love apart.

(Rachel Elizabeth Cooper)

Save Marriage: Few Tips and Suggestions to Save Your Married Life - - The Relationship at Stake For Very Small Reasons

If you feel your marriage is failing the chances are you’re not communicating with your partner, or your communication is in the form of continuous arguments.
 

The reasons for the disintegration of a marriage are varied, but there are things you can do to try to solve the problems that have gradually made the partnership a miserable one.

• Talk to each other. Ask each other what they dislike about things in the marriage and see how they can be resolved. Discuss problems sensibly and try to solve them together. Talk and most of all listen. You may not like what you hear, but if you’re open with each other, you’re on the first step to solving the problems.

• Don’t suffocate your partner. Everyone needs their own space. If you need to know everything they’re doing, where they’ve been, who they’ve seen, it can be extremely claustrophobic. Being constantly worried about what your partner’s up to can destroy a relationship very quickly.

• Support each other. No matter what problems arise in a marriage, by supporting each other through it you will grow closer and the problems will not overtake your lives.

• Compromise. Today that is almost seen as a rude word, but compromise is important in any relationship. It means you love someone enough to forego your own particular needs from time to time in order to create a happy environment. This has to be done from both sides, and it will help to give you a good basis from which to move forward in the marriage.

• Discipline. Discipline in the way you look after yourself and keep yourself looking as attractive as possible. Keeping the home as a place of warmth and welcoming when you get home at night makes such a difference as to how you both perceive each other. It can be achieved and is well worth the effort no matter how tired you may be at the end of the day.

• Don’t let your children rule your marriage. However much you both love your children they should not dominate your home to the extent that you and your partner never get time for each other. Sharing things together as a family is essential, but at the end of the day it should be time for you and your partner to sit and talk about things together.

• Make time for each other and don’t take one another for granted. No-one knows what tomorrow may bring, so make the most of what you have today. Remember, each day can be lived in utter misery or happily, the choice is yours. Let tomorrow take care of itself and enjoy each other today.

• Keep your interests alive. Don’t become boring. There are wonderful things to see and do in the world, so participate in them as much as possible, both together and apart. Then you can come together at the end of the day and talk about them, keeping your interest in each other alive.

There are many others save marriage tips which will hopefully make you see it’s never impossible to keep your partnership alive.

People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges - - Lonliness: A Cause of Anxiety and Frustration

People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.    Joseph F. Newton

The lonely one offers his hand too quickly to whomever he encounters.    Friedrich Nietszche

When you close your doors, and make darkness within, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not alone; nay, God is within, and your genius is within. And what need have they of light to see what you are doing?    Epictetus

To be an adult is to be alone.     Jean Rostand

Man's loneliness is but his fear of life.   Eugene O'neill

So lonely 'twas that God himself scarce seemed there to be.  Samuel Taylor Coleridge

People drain me, even the closest of friends, and I find loneliness to be the best state in the union to live in.      Margaret Cho

Little do men perceive what solitude is, and how far it extended? For a crowd is not company, and faces are but a gallery of pictures, and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love.    Francis Bacon

Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.       Mother Teresa

Be good and you will be lonely.    Mark Twain

People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.    Joseph F. Newton

Language has created the word loneliness to express the pain of being alone, and the word solitude to express the glory of being alone.       Paul Tillich

People drain me, even the closest of friends, and I find loneliness to be the best state in the union to live in.    Margaret Cho

Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.      Dag Hammarskjold

A blank wall of social and professional antagonism faces the woman physician that forms a situation of singular and painful loneliness, leaving her without support, respect or professional counsel.   Elizabeth Blackwell

A man in a bookstore buys a book on loneliness and every woman in the store hits on him. A woman buys a book on loneliness and the store clears out.    Doug Coupland

A woman who is willing to be herself and pursue her own potential runs not so much the risk of loneliness, as the challenge of exposure to more interesting men - and people in general.     Lorraine Hansberry

No man is an Island entire of it self; every man is a peace of the Continent, a part of the Maine; if a Clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a Promontories were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or thane own were. Any man's death diminishes me because I am involved in Mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.        John Donne

Loneliness

Is
An island
In
The middle
Of A sea of people

R.R

 

Loneliness is part of being human.
It reminds us that we are not
complete in ourselves.

Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.    Chili Davis

Inflation is when you pay fifteen dollars for the ten-dollar haircut you used to get for five dollars when you had hair.    Sam Ewing

Youth is a wonderful thing.  What a crime to waste it on children.  George Bernard Shaw

In childhood, we yearn to be grown-ups.  In old age, we yearn to be kids.  It just seems that all would be wonderful if we didn't have to celebrate our birthdays in chronological order.    Robert Brault

The first sign of maturity is the discovery that the volume knob also turns to the left.      Jerry M. Wright

Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time.  Jean Paul Richter

Let us celebrate the occasion with wine and sweet words.    Plautus

Birthdays? Yes, in a general way;
For the most if not for the best of men:
You were born (I suppose) on a certain day:
So was I: or perhaps in the night: what then?
 James Kenneth Stephen

There are three hundred and sixty-four days when you might get un-birthday presents ... and only one for birthday presents, you know.     Lewis Carroll

For the passing of time leads to change.

Our priorities and goals rearrange.

It's official; you've lived one more year.
You're birthday gifted and caked,
But don't think you're fully mature,
'Cause you're really only half-baked!

 Joanna Fuchs
