Marriage & Friendship

Sometimes in our busy lives the really important things can be forgotten. Other people, their habits and their needs may even feel annoying while we are pursuing our material needs. We may feel our relationships lack something. We are not as happy as we originally planned and wanted to be with the people in our lives. We may stand there, wondering what happened to our relationships. When did our relationships become so burdensome to us? Where did the joy and happiness go? What happened to us being happy together? If all people suddenly disappeared we would understand that to be really happy - we need other each other. Being alone can be so sweet at times, and is certainly even necessary. But if there really was no one else around, we would begin to miss the company of others in no time. And just as it is with any other important thing; we need to work on being happy together. Every relationship gives back what we give into it. And I am sure deep within we all want our relationships to be nurturing and happy. We need a simple plan. Happy together - that´s the name of the project. We need to look at our relationships like they were plants in a garden. Each plant needs watering, care, weeding, sunshine and yes - rain too. We all face hardships in our lives and when this happens, we sure appreciate those people who care about us and open their arms to hold us when the need arises. As Oprah put it: Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.You know who those people are? They are our family. They are our friends.

Same goes with marriage. Doesn’t mean your are married to each other we know each other well. Don’t be surprise that even other people know your husband/wife much better than you. So its good that you can build the relationship as a friend. A friend who u can shared your success, failure, dreams, etc. This can make your relationship getting more interesting. Some people after they getting married it won’t lasting because the love and friendship disappeared. So, how to develop friendship into marriage; 1) learn to love each other, 2) lay down your life to one another; and 3) hold nothing and keep nothing for one another.
