I once witnessed a couple eating at a hotel, and they were obviously enjoying each other's company. The waiter asked them if they were just married. To have a marriage that always stays fresh and alive requires effort. Each spouse should be constantly searching for ways to make their partner happy, and to bring them as much benefit as possible. When one spouse feels cared for and loved, it is natural for him to want to reciprocate with giving and love.
Love is like a rubber band.
The more you try to give it, the more it will come back to you. A successful marriage fills a person with the greatest feeling of satisfaction. Both spouses feel like the luckiest people in the world. It is a fact that, on the average, married people live longer than single people, divorcees or widowers. Being married has the potential to give a person enrichment of life that makes it worth living.
