“… Go together like a horse and carriage.”
“You can’t have one without the other.” (Frank Sinatra song)
Falling in love is a most interesting phenomenon!
The physical attraction propels the relationship forward at the outset.
The decision to marry includes a SELFISH desire to enjoy the physical attraction.
After the wedding, the physical attraction, in many cases, produces offspring.
The affection between both spouses must now include caring for the needs of the children.
This marks the beginning of the UNSELFISH chapter in the spousal relationship.
As love matures, it evolves into a process of making the wellbeing of spouse and children the priority.
And all through the trauma of the child rearing years, the spouses must be there for each other.
As the children leave and pursue their future, the nurturing of in-laws and grandchildren expands the UNSELFISH love of others.
That’s my view of LOVE AND MARRIAGE!
