Investing In Your Marriage . . . A marriage relationship requires continual preventative mainenance, much like a car needs preventative maintenance, if you want your car to last a long time. If you run your car until it breaks down, never checking tires, brakes, or changing the oil, you may find it very expensive to repair or you may even shorten the normal life of the vehicle.
Many marriages just keep running.
The couple never stops to check the condition of their relationship. They don't check their love tank to see if it is getting low, not questioning if they are still communicating, or being open and honest with each other. Somehow they just expect the relationship to keep going with no preventative maintenance. They seem to be too busy to invest anything into the relationship. They never stopped to question where their relationship was at, nor heeded the warning signs that had said for years that something was going wrong.
