"If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently.
You shield it and protect it. You never abuse it.
You don't expose it to the elements.
You don't make it common or ordinary.
If it ever becomes tarnished, you lovingly polish it until it gleams like new.
It becomes special because you made it so, and it grows
more beautiful and precious as time goes by."
~ F. Burton Howard
I am not an expert on marriage or relationships by any means, and I still have A LOT to learn when it comes to my own. But one thing I do know for sure is that marriage is fragile and should be handled with care. It should be treated with sacredness and respect. It doesn't take much for a relationship to be damaged, and it takes a lot of work to fix it once it's broken. But I do believe it can be fixed if both people are willing to give not 50/50, but 100% each in the relationship. Marriage is an investment, where the more you put in to it the more you get back (as long as both partners are investing equally). It requires unselfish sacrifice. It takes HARD WORK to make it happen....but it is worth it.
