Letter to Engaged Couples II
DEAR
BRIDE AND GROOM,
- No
matter what, always remember that you're a team! You're on the
same side. That's...s--a--m--e-- same!
- Don't
try to change each other. You fell in love with each other as
different people. Always love each other for who you are today
and not what you want or expect each other to be in the future.
There really is no future anyway.
- You
are not responsible to bring out the best in your partner. You
are not responsible for your partner. However, by bringing out
the best in you, by being the best you can be, you are surrounding
your partner with the best and that has an impact.
- A
marriage is as good as the energy invested in it. No investment,
no return. Little investment, little return. Enormous investment,
enormous return.
- Marriage
does not mean that you must surrender your individuality as
a person. Marriage is a team. It may be a challenge to balance
your individual needs with the needs of you two but it is absolutely
doable.
- For
all those preparing for a wedding in the near future, I would
like to pass on a little tip about your future together. The
easiest part of marriage is planning your wedding day. There
will be many, many more important days in your life together
that will test your love more than walking down the aisle. Brace
yourselves, because you are about to embark on something you
can never
understand until your experiencing it yourself. Marriage requires
so much of a person's energy. Take your time and enjoy your
time alone with each other. And be clear before having children,
because when children are added to the mixture, even more is
required to endure.
