I realize we cannot be on top of the world all the time in any relationship. What I am talking about has nothing to do with outside circumstances in life. It is not complacency. So love her, serve her, help her, and enjoy her, care for her. In the doing love will emerge.
Love is a verb.
I received this story from a friend of mine. I share it with you. I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago whose husband unexpectedly died suddenly of a heart attack. About a week after his death, she shared some of her insight with a classroom of students. As the late afternoon sunlight came streaming in through the classroom windows and the class was nearly over, she moved a few things aside on the edge of her desk and sat down there.
