Intermittently, I read books on relationships and marriage. I’d like to share with you some lessons I picked from Gary Chapman’s book “Things I wish I knew before I got married.”
Toilets are not self cleaning
I’m not just marrying only my spouse but i’m marrying into a family
There’s a need to plan for our money
The love experience is not an adequate foundation for marriage
Apologizing is a sign of strength
Mutual intimate satisfaction doesn’t just happen.
Spirituality is not about going to church
Personality profoundly influences behavior
The saying “Like mother like daughter and like father like son” are not myths
It’s possible to solve disagreements without arguing
Romantic love has two stages; Tingly feeling and Intentional Feeling. Couples must be willing to build the intentional feeling stage if they want a lasting relationship.
There you have it! What do you think?
