Search Results: making up to him

Simple question right? I will concede that falling in love with someone isn't 100% a choice, its a combination of attraction, and chemical responses. But continuing to love someone i believe is a choice.

Let me explain why i believe that.

Love needs to be nurtured. To maintain the relationship, you can't just expect the "Spark" to be there. Both sides need to make effort. Both sides need to do the things that maintain connection.

For example, Every morning when i wake up, i wake a half our prior to actually needing to get up so i can get extra cuddle time with my wife. When i come home from lunch i hug her, and tell her how much i miss her. When i come home at the end of the day i do the same, and then we cook together.. the important term here is Together. Hell even my furniture choices have centered around making sure that even when we are just watching a show together it means cuddle time. Additionally i took my grandfathers advice seriously, which was "Never stop dating your wife" So i make sure to do things like date nights, and spontaneous gifts, And by gifts, i mean things she's been wanting, to things as simple as chocolate. I tell her she's beautiful every day, and i tell her how much i love her every day. And this isn't one way, My wife does similar stuff for me.

Bottom line, if i chose to stop doing all of that, my wife would first think that there was something wrong, Then she would think that i was angry with her, and finally she would think that i dont love her. It would essentially kill the marriage.

Love, Marriage, And everything in between takes effort, Marriage is hard work, Its remembering to do the little things. Its making sure above all else that you have open lines of communication.

A lot of people fail to comprehend that, and i believe this is the reason for the horrific divorce rate.

See the following poem. it explains it quite well

Thanks to the "government shutdown" we found out that FORTY-TWO MILLION people are getting food stamps? And MILLIONS of them are able bodied people with no dependents? WTF!

Why should YOU have to work your ass off to give these lazy bums more of your hard earned money?

The "government shutdown" wasn't a bad thing unless you allow them fool you into thinking that the fact that the FORTY-TWO MILLION people getting free stuff at YOUR expense that the shutdown exposed isn't something that needs to be thoroughly audited and cleaned up!

Why should MILLIONS of able bodied people who don't even have any dependents be getting one dime of YOUR money?

And since when is subsidizing dependency instead of making policies that encourage people to be independent and stand on their own two feet the "compassionate" thing to do.

And why should we give the government so much power that its the end of the world if it shuts down. Humans lived for millions of years before government existed because they learned to be IN DEPENDENT not DE PENDENT.

We need to CUT the size and power of the government and return it to individuals, not GROW the government to take our power away.

The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen! Vote against Democrats, the party of dependency and plantation slavery.
