Ouch...Your comments caused me some intense thought. Ouch.<BR/><BR/>Without going into serious details, life is made up of moments; those special moments that happen when all of the stars line up and fortune smiles, and all of your hard work actually brings a fantastic result. <BR/><BR/>The rest of life is survival between moments.<BR/><BR/>Relationships can be the same. Are your 'moments' worth the survival periods in between? Mine have been.<BR/><BR/>That's not to say that there haven't been some looooong survival periods... but in balance, it's been worth it. <BR/><BR/>33 years worth it.<BR/><BR/>PS, I INVENTED the Sausage McMuffin...

I have been with my husband 12 years, married for 9, and we are very well-matched. Even still, there are ups and downs. You have to be willing to accept and encourage personal growth in your partner; to believe change is possible. <BR/><BR/>So if someone loves you with all they've got and it's not enough, the answer is neither to settle or to leave. It's to speak your needs clearly in a way that both uplifts and empowers your partner. One person can inspire and ignite a relationship. <BR/><BR/>Now if your partner chooses not to grow, that's another story. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11513333.post-54224321626390607412008-05-06T10:07:00.000-04:002008-05-06T10:07:00.000-04:00Terrific post! I think too many people settle too...Terrific post! I think too many people settle too early without being in true love with each other. And that makes for bad relationships as time goes on. I don't believe anyone should settle for less than they truly server, but some days that's easier to say than do... <BR/><BR/>Cort who's common answer to the all important question "are you married" is always -- nope seriously single.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
