bjbjLULU Have you heard the old saying that it's so easy to hate the one you love? What
dangerous territory we wander into if you place your relationship in the land of emotions.
That is appropriate for when you first meet someone and experience emotions of attraction
and caring. But after the marriage vows believe me the mountain of love can and so often does
dip to the valley of boredom and dislike. Those are all emotions, think of your day
and how many emotions you feel during just one day. Happy when you wake up, frustrated
getting the kids ready for school, anxious about the big meeting at work, proud as you
watch your kids play sports after school. Anger that the sink backed up again. Fretting
to get dinner on the table. Exhausted at the end of the day. If you put all those emotions
towards your marriage it will crumble quickly. I'm not saying you shouldn't feel emotions
and try to keep them from your marriage. What I want to point out to you is there has to
be a firm foundation a commitment that you and your spouse have made to each other at
the beginning of the marriage. I happen to believe that faith has a lot to do with that
commitment. Then you carried on our marriage from that point. Ok, you might be saying I
can understand having a commitment to my husband or wife but how do I do this now? We are already
married. That s the simple part. So here is your action plan for not letting emotions
rule your marriage. Ready say it in your head. I am not going to let emotions rule my marriage.
Then go say it to your spouse, and then write it down. Depending on what type of personalities
are in your marriage you can make it as simple as that or you can create a beautiful little
ceremony. The important thing is that you just do it. Have you heard the old saying
