DON'T THINK FOR A MOMENT THAT YOU CAN JUST GET MARRIED AND...

not have to do anything about it again. No way! These days it takes an ongoing, active, spirited-focus to keep a relationship fresh, alive and happenin'. Is your relationship worth it? Is beauty, art, dance and music worth it? Are children worth it? Is Love worth it?

The Maintaining Marriage-drawer means that your marriage is in excellent health and it can stay that way. If we are successful with our writings, we will have impressed upon you that there are simple things, many not taking much time at all, that you can do individually, and together, that will keep your relationship singing the beauty and the bounty of Love. We will go so far as to say that your relationship must keep growing and expanding in order to work and keep you two satisfied.

Is this doable? Absolutely 100% yes! How can we say this so assuredly? Because you two, together, are in total control of this.

THINK ABOUT THIS:

The amount of good in your lives, which includes health, abundance, prosperity, intimacy, friendship, passion, happiness, joy, fun and peace, was not meant to level off when you met or reach the final peak on wedding day or when your first child was born. On the contrary, because good is unlimited, life always gets better. There is no end to it. Think about this for a moment . . . If this is true, what would that mean for so many of the thoughts that we think as humans? What would this mean for what's possible in each day? Each moment? The Marriage Toolbox is pretty excited about this.

Okay, let's go more into the drawer. . . .
