Caring for Marriage

Patriotism

  • It involves coming together for the common good.
  • It's not cheap. Citizens must work to better the country. 
  • It means protecting our commitment, and listening to the needs of others. 
  • We need to be proud of our country. We may not like everything it does but we should support it. 
  • Loving our country means not being divisive. The focus is on the We of We the people.
These points apply seamlessly to marriage as well. 

  • In a healthy marriage, each person strives to serve people outside of themselves. 
  • Investing time and money in your relationship keeps it vibrant. 
  • The commitment you make to one another matters, and listening well to each other lifts you out of selfishness. 
  • Believing in your partner, even when you do not agree with them, can be the fuel to help them reach their potential.
  • We instead of Me is a qualitative shift. 
I feel blessed to be able to honor my country, and the ideals that it stands for. It is also a privilege to step into a relationship that is about something larger than myself. 


Love, 

Lori
