Love at first sight is easy to understand; it’s when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle. ~ Amy Bloom ~ [Source]

When you notice elderly couples walking along the street in harmony, do you wish that you hope to be able to walk down the streets hand in hand when the both of you are old? Doing little things for your spouse helps to create that first step towards making your marriage work.

In addition, with rumours from neighbours or friends who tell you certain things such as your spouse is having dinner or lunch with someone of the opposite sex alone and other seemingly cozy stuff, you may be swayed to look at your marriage in a different light. This marriage is doomed if you believe only what they say and not what your spouse say. A relationship needs trust to work.

Only if your spouse is truly straying, you will notice some changes despite some trying their best to cover up. During your weakest moment such as you feel that your spouse has neglected you by not spending time with you when it’s your first pregnancy or your company is undergoing retrenchment, you may feel that another person who is showing you some comfort could be better for you. It could be a step towards the marriage breaking down with you starting it.

Women need comfort the most during their first pregnancy. Post natal depression happens when they feel that no one is helping them or they feel that even family members are not supportive. Discovering that your spouse has committed adultery is devastating. Can there be hope after that?

There are ways to maintain a healthy relationship. It takes two hands to clap. By working together as a team, this marriage can work and you can experience that as grandparents, you can proudly tell your grandchildren that your spouse is wonderful. Your spouse helped with that housework while you were breast-feeding their parents.

Treasure your love. Life contains a few decades, not centuries.
