Keeping your love alive after marriage...

Now that I'm married, there are things that I have to do which I don't need to do when I was single and things I shouldn't do. But my love to my husband is always fresh since the first time I met him. I always love my husband not by feelings but by choice. Everyday I make a choice to love him. From the moment I open my eyes in the morning until I close my eyes at night, I choose to love him as if it is my first time to love. Loving is not managed by feelings but by the act of will, by choice. I respect his feelings, I respect his likes and dislikes and I respect his need for privacy. I respect him as a person, as a friend and as a husband. Trust holds the relationship strong. Trust annihilates jealousy and pessimism that may infest in our feelings. Sometimes I have my short comings but I always go back to the choice I made in the altar of God and the choice I make each day.

After got married,I also need to do something that I did not have to do when I was single.But I think these things mean my responsibility to my hubby and family, and I like to do them all. We love each other, and our relation is more than husband and wife.We just like an old friend and know each other very well.I fully understand it is not easy to hold us together in our lifetime,thus I really cherish everyday that we spend together.Now we have a lovely daughter and my heart is full with happiness and satisfaction.
