The serenity of your marriage is in your hands

This past weekend my husband and I strolled through the tree-lined street admiring some of the new buildings in our estate. We passed one that housed an exterior balcony and we saw this new couple with an elderly man.

The elderly man said to the new couple “Put forth your hands and take a good look at your hands.”

Don’t just read on. Did you do it?

Take a good look at your hand.

I’ll get back to your hands in a moment.

I, of course, was interested in what the elderly man was saying to the young bride and groom so I paused a while to listen.

He took them through a meaningful “exercise” and offered them sound advice. 

She asked the couple to look into each other’s eyes when she spoke about the innocence in their eyes and the pool of feelings shared amongst them even without a spoken word. Next, he asked them to kindly bow their heads and to look at their hands.

And there was an instant energy shift in a moment and he went further to explain to them that the decision they made to spend the rest of their lives together was as a result of their FEELINGS for each other but that the rest of their married life together will be determined by their ACTIONS.

I would explain it….

What you DO in your years of marriage will determine what you SEE in each other’s eyes going forward.

In other words, what you see is NOT what you get. What you DO is what you will see.

Every spouse wants to gaze into their spouse’s eyes and feel the depth of their love but those looks are not because we met Mr. or Mrs. Right in the long run. It is because you did RIGHT and because you earned the right over time to see that love in each other’s eyes.
