The unspoken words in life are usually not meant to be said out loud anyways. Each of us carries around thoughts, ideas or longings that we don't want to share with our spouses and sometimes saying everything or talking too much just causes pain unnecessarily.

Everything has changed. Traditions are not as strong. People are approaching life in…well…loosey-goosey fashion. “Relax, baby, don't want to get married? Then don't.”

Ending a relationship is just like having the worst nightmare after having the best dream." "We cannot beg someone to stay if they want to leave and be with someone else. We have to admit that love doesn't give us the license to own a person. This is what love means...sacrifice.""Often times we say goodbye to the person we love without wanting to. Though that doesnt mean that we've stopped loving them or we've stopped to care. Sometimes goodbye is a painful way to say I love you.""Some people say the worst way to miss someone is when they are right next to you and you know you can't have them, but it's worse when you thought you didn't want them anymore and then all of a sudden you realize you can't live without them.""Deep in my heart, I'm suffering, knowing that I've lost you. On the outside, I'm living, pretending that I've forgotten you.""A failing love is like desperately hanging on to something precious; not wanting to give up, but your hands feel the pain.

Life has a way of taking from us. We can give to it until we bleed, and yet it still wants more. Always. Thus, life also has a way of taking away from our relationships and the people in our life that are of the highest value to us. Sometimes it's necessary to just step back, re-evaluate how things are, and renew your commitments and your statements of faith and mission to people. The most important person that is affected by all that life takes from you is your significant other.

This is the time when we all need to be more connected, more valued, and more forgiving and forgiven. By taking the time to renew vows/ promises after a particularly rough year, you are sending a clear message to your partner that while you just walked through one of the most difficult stages of life together, he or she is still absolutely the person that you want in your life every single day. No matter what. You may have gone from the usual routine of love, honor, and respect, to having the sudden urge to pour your heart out over your partner, to express everything from how you feel first thing in the morning when there they are right in front of you being themselves with all their morning breath and gas and you still find them incredibly beautiful or desirable. These urges and thoughts are normal for those who have been together for quite awhile and especially those who have been through an awful lot over the years.

It can seem so innocent when it starts. A few flirtatious comments, a giggle here and there, and an innocent cup of coffee or a quick “work date” all walk that fine line between being faithful and entering the highly emotionally distressing world of adultery. Pretty soon those innocent little coffee breaks together are no longer innocent, and before anyone realizes how far things are about to go, lines are crossed and lives are changed forever.
When affairs occurs, the consequences can seem nearly as devastating as having to face an execution. No one involved will ever be quite the same again. Trust is a precious commodity, often mistakenly placed in people we believe will never abuse it. When one partner steps outside of the relationship, the trust that was once there can never be completely replaced, although it can be patched back together.

Believe it or not, sometimes it takes an act of infidelity to make the relationship a more loving, more nurturing state. It is when a storm occurs that people put on their best survival skills. When the storm clears, that’s usually when you begin to see your spouse in a different light – you begin to discover traits that you never knew he or she had.

Money, power, prestige, and fame can never buy the same feeling that your heart gets the first time the love of your life confesses their feelings. That wonderful little flutter in the tummy is irreplaceable, and who would want to replace it? It lets you know you’re alive.

It is easy to hide, but not very fulfilling. Loving openly and honestly and taking the risk that someone precious and dear to us might not be in our lives one day is part of the risk of daring to live fully. A heart that hasn’t ever been broken can’t grow its brightest. A heart that hasn’t loved grows cold. And a heart that lives in fear shrinks with time.

Love has a way of erasing the wrinkles of time. Whenever we see seniors in love, we don't see the leathery skin or the wrinkled hand or their unsteady gait. What we see is the true joy of marriage. It's an endearing picture. You know what's one of the most beautiful sights in the world, apart from the Himalayas and the Pyramids of Egypt? It's a couple in their 70s who are hugging in public, oblivious to the world, staring into each other's eyes like it was the first time.

“Love is not measured by how many times you touch each other, but by how many times you reach for each other.”

Every word is true and touching the deepest of my soul. Hold my breath, still wanna live to see another day. Dun make me change my mind ... I swear .. everything will be true ... impossible ... to find ...
