Someone asked the question on what makes a good marriage so I thought I'd share my thoughts on what made our marriage good with a love that has lasted beyond the grave....
A good marriage is not perfect, it will have it's ups and downs, and yes you will get angry with each other at times.
A good marriage is not giving up on each other and never letting the word 'divorce' proceed out of the mouth in the bad times.
A good marriage is one that endures because you love each other unconditionally, overlooking faults, or failures.
A good marriage realizes love is not a feeling but an action.
A good marriage endures through sickness and in health, in the good times and in the bad, loving and enduring even when it seems you've seen more of 'the poorer' than 'the richer' because you realize it is not money that makes you rich but the love you share so even if you don't have a lot of money, you are rich in what really matters...love, a true love, that has lasted far beyond the grave. A love that death could not kill. That is a good marriage and one I wouldn't trade for anything.
**Disclaimer, no offense intended for those who have been divorced. Some circumstances are beyond your control and I meant nothing negative toward anyone by my words. My reference is meant that when the going gets tough, the tough do not get going but stick together through it and grow stronger in their unity and love.
