"Commitment is actually built on thinking and then communicating to one’s partner that he or she is precious, and not replaceable. In one’s mind, as well as in communication, we build commitment by nurturing our gratitude in what we have with our partner, and in our mind we magnify the positive qualities our partner has and we minimise the negative qualities. We think and communicate that no one out there—real or imagined—can compare with our partner."
This is a quote from John Gottman in his book Eight Dates. Highly, highly recommend for all married or committed couples. We don't always learn what it means to be committed, to communicate, or how to prioritize the important pieces of marriage that make it last. This culture we live in almost seems to value separation and divorce. And while there is certainly a time and place, 75% of divorces cite a lack of commitment as the number one reason for divorce.
Be radical. Stay married for a lifetime. And make it full of fun, love, admiration, laughter, hot sex, conversation, empathy, devotion, understanding, forgiveness, and support.
Also, my husband is ridiculously handsome. 😍
