a good thought


I have been reading some things today about keeping a strong marriage. For Weldon and I, oftentimes we let things in life get in the way and we find ourselves putting our marriage second. I just thought I would brush up on a few things today so I can be a better wife. I read a lot of really good things that have helped me and remind me what we need to be doing. I wanted to share this little thought because I really thought it was well said and so true.

"Dear Abby,

Some months ago, you printed a letter from a reader who was disturbed that the spark was gone from her marriage. I asked my husband whether the spark is gone from our 18-year marriage. His response 'A spark lasts only a second. It lights a fire. When the flame burns down, we are left with the hottest part of the fire, the embers, which burn the longest and keep the fire alive.' "
