If you can hold in mind your love for
each other and keep that before you
at times of great difficulty and in all
situations…
If you can make being right less
important than being connected,
and instead work toward harmony
and grace…
If you can keep your head while
everything in you screams for
revenge, and come back to the table
with compassion and compromise…
If your relationship can be your first
priority and not last place in your
day….
If you can use empathy like a mighty
sword to cut through your pain,
instead of being like a rock or an
island…
If you can surrender to your mate
when all that is in you wants to
leave, yet continue on with
consideration and kindness…
If you can hear complaints and
respond with understanding and not
give way to contempt and rage…
If you can recognize that conflict is
normal and trust is earned, and still
be reliable and loving…
If you can appreciate that love is not
a given but is created from being a
loving person…
If you can become the person that
you most admire and treat the ones
you love with kindness and
consideration…
…
You will create a loving
relationship
