To All Readers: I hope Valentine’s Day is enjoyable, joyous, and full of loved ones! When I recently got this letter, I was struck by how intelligent and well-written it was. What a wonderful day to tell you all about it.
To Annie, please: Each of the fifty years that my wife, Patsy, and I have been married has been better than the last. What works for us might be of interest to your readers:
Get married to your closest buddy. Friendship endures forever, but passions fade.
Avoid working during a marriage. Try your hand at marriage. Enjoy each other. Marriage is a pleasure, not a chore.
Talk about everything, even the painful aspects. Have the courage to show vulnerability. Love each other for who you are, not simply what you want the other person to see. Trust is harmed by secrets. For a marriage to be happy, trust is necessary.
Find enjoyable things to do with your partner and do them frequently. But make time for personal pursuits as well. Don’t lose yourself; instead, become one with your spouse.
Encourage one another. Use the phrase “I love you” a dozen times per day. Enjoy it when your partner says it as well. Wasted love is love that is not expressed.
Encourage one another. Be proud of one another. Honor each other for who you are as distinct individuals.
Don’t allow issues to fester. Before they become explosive problems, talk about them and find solutions.
Attitude is important. Instead of fighting, work together with your spouse to find solutions to your issues. After the issue has been resolved, take some time to relax and rejoice in the fact that you and your partner have found a solution.
Lastly, savor every moment of your union. Take care of the emotion you experienced throughout your engagement. Encourage it to develop into something even more profound and amazing. A happy marriage is the greatest joy in life. Hold onto it. Construct it. I adore it. Above all, have fun with each other! — Enjoying Each Minute
To Loving, please: Yes, you give amazing counsel.
In keeping with this, these are some other statements about love that I find very inspiring:
Like bread, love must be constantly rebuilt and reinvented; it cannot simply sit there like a stone. — Le Guin, Ursula K.
Having the ideal pair together does not guarantee a successful marriage. It occurs when a flawed pair discovers how to value their differences. Dave Meurer
Being married for a long time is similar like having a wonderful cup of coffee every morning. I may drink it every day, but I still like it. — Stephen Gaines
Because anything can be loved by everyone. Putting a cent in your pocket is as simple as that. but to still adore anything. to accept and cherish their imperfections. That is unique, flawless, and pure. — Rothfuss, Patrick
