When you get motivated, you can accomplish almost anything. You can get motivated to lose weight, get motivated to exercise, get motivated to study, get motivated to write a book, or get motivated to do anything possible to make sure your marriage is successful.
Understand Your Life Purpose
Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.
- Judy Garland
The Scenario
After being in a marriage for a while, its so much harder to keep those flames burning, so you've been trying to come up with ways to keep the flames in your relationship. You've been planning sexy date nights, sending sexy text, trying to have intimate conversations, seeking compliments, etc. One day your spouse keeps the computer screen open, and is logged on to fb. You read it cause its in your face. You realize that some of the same things that you've been trying to get your spouse to do with you, he's been doing for someone else via facebook. How do you deal with this?
Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate, but through being the right mate.
– Barnett R. Brickner
I love this quote, cause it basically tells me that you get what you put into your marriage. If you act like you don't need anyone, if you were raised to not depend on anyone and you bring that to your marriage, then most likely that wall, that independence will grow in your marriage, and you will not get the full affect of becoming one with your spouse. Think about the choices you make, if after thinking you realize that there are negative things that you have brought into your marriage we motivate you to put in the positive. Make a change...
