As each spouse goes along in life, they encounter events that change them physically, mentally or emotionally.

And some of the changes are unique to each partner!

Because of these unique changes, the one unaffected may not appreciate the impact on the other.

So, these changes can adversely affect the relationship.

If they cause your bond to weaken, how committed are the two of you to staying together?

The love that attracted both of you, while young, must mature into REAL LOVE!

This is the kind of love that calls for patience, forgiveness and understanding.

REAL LOVE means putting the wellbeing of the other person ahead of your own.

We have a friend whose husband is a victim of Alzheimer’s disease.

He is dying and in his last days.

Each day, she sits next to his bed and holds his hand so he knows someone loves him.

Need I say more?
