Built to Last - The Walls of Your Home

A wedding is a beautiful thing . It may be the best relationship that a person on this earth will have with another person. And when it's bad , hell is a better alternative.

Many people think that the best relationship they have is with their children. I have many of my own children and I love them . But the relationship that I have with my wife is very different. I see it as a life partner . I know my kids are going from one day to find their own love, live your own life and do not want to be the center of what they do. They travel to different states to develop their career and thought it would be better to have my own life and I am a lonely man indeed!


When we compare our marriage to build a house , we must consider the walls. What are the walls of a house ? They allow us to have rooms that keep unwanted visitors and limits are set . A marriage must have the same parameters. Consider the following ;


1) A good marriage has space - married people are people first and everyone needs space. You can be madly in love with someone, but you still have a life outside of his beloved. You need friends, interests that are the same and one way to do what you do when there's no one else around. This provides a balance of each individual.


2) A good marriage keeps unwanted visitors - must have private places in your marriage. Even your best friend should not know the intimate details of a husband and wife to each other. When the wall is erected in a marriage , you can see your spouse in a crowded room and when you make eye contact , both smiling. The secrets of your marriage spice up your everyday life.


3) A good marriage sets limits - above all married people should protect their time with others. We all have to work , but work interferes with their time together , can cost you your marriage. It is with our children, hanging out with friends or pursue other interests , must have limits . Do not let anyone or anything interfere with the time you have to invest in each other to be happy for life .
