It's as simple as making the right choice. I hear all the time from people how hard marriage is. I have to disagree. If both parties want the same thing it should be easy. Choose to love one another, commit to that person. Promise yourself that you will love your spouse no matter what. Let go of the need to have the last word, to always be right about every little thing. Don't argue over trivial things. Accept that sometimes your other half will be in a bad mood and some of that venom will be unintentionally launched in your direction. If it gets out of hand, remind your partner that you (or your kids or the dog) are not responsible for their mood, but do it gently.
There you have it. The formula to happiness. Okay, it's not that simple. I am not a marriage counselor and don't want to be. But I can tell you with supreme confidence that love is the most important part of the equation.
*Love your spouse - even when they don't seem to deserve it.
*Love your children - this is not the same as spoiling them. Loving them sometimes means time-out or a spanking.
*Love your enemies - that person at your job, you know the one. Choose to love that person. I don't mean hugs and kisses, but in your heart, just love them.
*Love your boss - it seems impossible, but it's really not. Your boss is human just like you. Look at the bright side: at least you have a job!
*Love every one.
This is not a hippie, peace-and-love thing. This is a spiritual, Godly thing. If you want to make the world better, start inside yourself and choose love.
God bless you. I love you. Make it your best day yet.
