Care of each other

I will miss that... ;-(

You are absolutely right and what you've said right here should be thought of as the unspoken words of the marriage vows. A lot of people take the vows that we take when we are married literally and that should not be the case at all. There are a lot of words in the marriage vows that are not spoken, but felt with the heart. My husband and I are able to accomplish everything together though there might be some things that we would fall short on alone.

Hello Savypat, great that you have so good relations in your marriage. In my relations with my boyfriend, i'm the one who is doing nearly everything. My boyfriend says he is willing all the time, but he has bad kidney pains so i stop myself when i want to ask him something and i stay him to rest more than me. It's making me exhausted, but this is the way it is right now and i hope in future he will have less pains, so i can rest some more. I just say every day that if each of us is doing good work for himself, he is doing it not only because of himself, but because of the other too. That way we will have better health, will be able to help each other for longer and will be able to spend more time together.

That is wonderful. sharing your life with someone in a marriage is I think the best thing to happen in one's life. Loving is not enough, sharing life would mean everything, the bad times, the good ones,happy, sad, this makes marriage wonderful. Glad that you're in a good marriage because not only for love but for everything!

life is beautiful if we run it with positive things and doing things that make us comfortable with this life. and life will also be more perfect if we mutually care about other people, because it is very difficult at all to be mutually care for others if we have no intention of heart.

Even though I haven't been married,actually I'm a college student in China,I also share the same feeling with you to same degree when it comes to my frientship.We go to the university away from our parents as well as the sweet home.Self-reliance is too difficult to most freshmen.At that time,taking care of each other with our schoolmates appears specially significant.

This is so true. I could not believe when my first husband was ill that some people thought that it would be appropriate to abandon him. It is also unfortunate that in some cases couples are forced into "financial divorce" to get any assistance and to guarrantee income for both spouses. We were fortunate to have both short and long term disability insurance, but I have known others who were not. I trust hubby is recovering well.

Indeed, that's what cements a relationship. Lack of taking care of each other erodes a relationship, I know from personal experience. I loved taking care of my husband but some men think that their obligation to care for their family ends at bringing home a paycheck. You are truly blessed!

Hello pat, I think husband and wife are the best friend. They are friend in need. Specially in the old age when people get alone then the spouses live together and they share all the pains of life. This relation is bond of love.

There is no accident in life. Nature controls everything with logic. We humans have some basic personality types. We should first identify our own type and then look for similar types to marry. Some people do it spontaneously. For example, if you love sports like golf, chess and billiards, you will expect your partner to appreciate all those things, quite naturally. Marriages fail for petty reasons. We are so overwhelmed by the bigger issues that we generally overlook unimportant details. But it is these unimportant petty details that matter in the end. When you and your spouse are compatible to each other, love and care will develop automatically. But when you two are fundamentally mismatched, only trouble will follow.

Hi friend, I'm very happy for your post because it speaks so much for itself and I can easily relate to it, being married myself for some time now to the same woman, and yes I agree that one factor that helps to make a marriage successful is support for one another especially in hard times but I would also like to add celebrating together in good times and care for children and raising up a family being a cementing bond, I wish you the best
