One of my favorite things to do is talking with my married friends about the beginnings of their relationship. I love how different versions they each have, and how they contradict how it actually happened and which one of them was more into the other one.
But what I love the most is how excited they actually get talking about that stage of their relationship. I can see it in their eyes how some of that fire and excitement it is being rekindled. My guess is that if most if not all couples would go back in time at times and ponder on how incredible their relationship was and the miracle of them actually having ended up together, that they would withstand many of the present challenges of their relationship.
I truly believe in the power of rekindling that fire time and time again, I just wish more would see its beauty and power. And all it's needed is a will, I think. Anyway, I, once again, find it fascinating, the way each one of them ended up together with a complete stranger that had become a really good friend and eventually a companion. I love that process and I think it is one of the most powerful and beautiful things in our world.
No wonder there is so much attack on that tie between a man and a woman who have committed to each other for the rest of their lives. When they are strong as a couple, nothing can touch them, they are invincible. You weaken that bond and everything else crumbles...
