  1. All those things are so necessary - marriage is a lot of work, a lot of thinking rather than just jumping in or responding hastily! But... it's worth it! :)

  2. Well put!
    I agree with Clara, it is a lot of work but so worth!

  3. Clara/Rosemary - I was only chatting with my 22 year old son the other day about the hard work of marriage and his comment was "why stay if it doesn't work". This is so typical of modern kids - walking away when things get tough. Maybe when he grows up a bit (he is still quite immature) he might see these things differently.

  4. What a beautiful post Jo... it sure is a recipe for success in marriage. Sometimes one runs a little low on certain ingredients and needs to go to the Father for a top-up ;-)
