A lullaby


I thought this was cute. My little one singing lullaby to sister. Time goes by so fast and we need to cherish every living moment.

Did I Marry the Right Person

I found this article to be so true and wanted to share it.  Hope you will find it helpful.

Did I marry the Right Person?

During one of our seminars, a women asked a common question.
She said, "how do I know if I married the right person?"
I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, " It depends. Is that your husband?" In all seriousness, she answered "How do you know?"

Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind.

Here is the answer.
EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies.

Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a complete natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything.  That's why it's called "falling" in love...

People in love sometimes say, " I was swept off my feet" Think of the imagery of that_expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, an then something happened came along and happened TO YOU.

Falling in love is easy. It's passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few years of marriage , the euphoria of love fades.  It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.

The symptom of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/ or your spouse might start asking, "Did I marry the right person?" And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when marriages breakdown. People blame there spouse for their unhappiness and look outside there marriage for fulfillment.

Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.

But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies with in it. I am not saying you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):

THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.

You can't "find" LASTING love. You have to "make" it day in and day out. That's why we have the _expression "the labour of love". Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work.

Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage.

Just as there are physical laws of the universe( such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make you your marriage stronger. It's direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the law, the results are predictable... you can "make" love.

Love in a marriage is indeed a "decision"... Not just a feeling.

Remember this always

" God determines who walks into your life.
It is up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go."

I know how that feels as I had a foot injury about over a month ago and still trying to recover. I have not been able to go to the gym because of it and I have gained double digits (not good!!)
