So many wonderful BraveHeart Women have been creating blogs about relationships and marriage lately…. sharing your thoughts and inspiration from your hearts. :-x

I wish to share from my heart to yours a favorite piece that I found many years ago that has been beautifully framed and placed where I can see it every day. While it speaks of marriage, I feel it applies to all relationships on different levels to include strength, courage, values, respect, gratitude, appreciation and love. :-x

The Art of Marriage

A good marriage must be created.
In the marriage the little things are the big things…

It is never being too old to hold hands.

It is remembering to say “I love you” at least once each day.

It is never going to sleep angry.

It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives.

It is standing together facing the world.

It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family.

It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways.

It is having the capacity to forgive and forget.

It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow.

It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.

It is not only marrying the right person --
It is being the right partner.

In Gratitude and Appreciation for all the beautiful relationships in my life…:-x

Very true. Thanks for posting!
Hello all of you Beautiful BraveHeart Sisters....:-x

I am delighted you are enjoying this "reminder"!
It is so valuable to be "conscious" of ourselves in the daily interactions of our relationships.

With Love, :-x

Linda,

I thank you for this beautiful reminder.

In times that are challenging, it is comforting to be able to face the world with another individual by your side.

There have been times when I felt perhaps I did not marry the right person, but then I realized that I required to be more of the right partner

With Gratitude For Knowing You,

Robin

Hi Linda,

This is a beautiful piece, all of the phrases are excellent but the one that resonated with me the most is

It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family.


Thanks for sharing...

Linda,

What a beautiful blog -- so true that "being the right person" -- working to make ourselves everything we can be -- is so important....thank you for sharing!

Blessings!

Linda,

Thanks for this beautiful wisdom! I especially like the last phrase.

It reminds me of Maura Leon's plan to find the perfect mate: she listed every quality she wanted and worked on them all herself so that she had them too. Once she had, she met her husband.

One of her articles is posted in the document files of The Relationship Dance, along with lots of other advice and wisdom.

Hugs,
Hedy
