I enjoyed reading this ....
HOpe you do too
Paul Newman explains his recipe for a successful and lasting marriage:
"This is the age of disposability. The roads are littered with things people have thrown away; cans bottles, paper- as well as wives, children and careers. But in our home if a taster breaks, we repair it. Its the same with marriage when there are strains. We dont throw it away, but see what is wrong and put it right.
" Do we fight? Oh, yes , certainly. But the marriage still works. It is a question of accepting or fighting. What am I ?
Im an accepting fighter."

Excellent post! I totally agree! Far too often now-a-days people just throw everything away! I believe marriage is forever. If my wife and I have a disagreement, it's just that a disagreement. It's not like there isn't a middle ground to be found. There is, so we try to find it together.
That is my round-about way of saying I am an accepting fighter too. Why? Because my wife is worth fighting for!!

My view is paul Newman is a wise man. A good marriage
doesn't mean nobody ever fights, on the contrary we
have our spats like everyone else but we repair our
differences and go on accepting each other for who we
are.there will always be some slight differences but
'being an accepting fighter you repair your marriage
constantly.
