Marriage is Not a Perpetual Motion Machine
04/17/2014

A good marriage does not just happen. It took work to get it in the first place and just like a good car, it will take work to maintain it. Anything worth having is worth working for. It is amazing we understand that anything we possess must be taken care of if it is important to us, yet many will just drift along thinking their marriage is somehow some perpetual motion machine that will just keep on running on its own.

I heard of a man who said that he took his wife out to eat every Friday. Someone asked him if that wasn't expensive. He replied, "It's cheaper than divorce."

Those who do not work at their marriage display by their actions, or lack thereof, that it is of little value to them.
