Love is a balance of feelings and responsibilities.
Good to read Miriam– the ring and yang of marriage, give and take (and hopefully mostly giving…) it’s good to looks at a marriage from this perspective of all the years behind us. I think you’ve learned a lot. Thanks for sharing it all… hugs friend. xo

Yes, learned it the hard, and heart way, through tears and wounds. Yet God has all the credit to pull me through. I wouldn’t trade my experience for anything. I consider it as a privilege and gifts. Now I can pay forward. 🙂

Thank you for your support. When I was almost dying from the aggressive chemo treatment, I physically felt that I was floating on the bed of prayers that carried me through the valley. It was a feeling that I would never forget. So it was not me, it’s the collective strength behind me. As far as the previous experience. I remember surrounded me to pray for me. Couldn’t have done it without all of you.

The give and take of a marriage relationship is well expressed here. It cannot work well if either side forgets that. It can never be stated too often. This formula works for any lasting relationship, even friendship.

Hi Mary Jean,
You are right with the give and take. I heard of a comment that it doesn’t mean that you only give 50%. Both are expected to give a 100% for a relationship to work well. It’s hard when the other side has not return the favor when you keep giving. I guess it takes faith and trust to do it. Thank you for your comments.
