Committed: The Ties that Bond
with Angella Dykstra
I'm a mom of three, a professional accountant, and an amateur photographer and writer. I am not a marriage expert. But my husband and I take "Til death do us part" seriously, and here I'll be sharing how we keep our marriage strong while we both do that insane work-life juggle.
Check out my Work It, Mom! profile and my blog, Dutch Blitz.
Movies and romance novels will have you believe that Love Conquers All. If you meet your “Soul Mate” you will hear birds singing and rainbows will appear in the sky. You will hold hands and walk off into the sunset, destined to live happily ever after.
The reality is never quite the fairy tale that it is made out to be, regardless of how compatible you are.
A quote that was said to me back when I was a teenager has stuck with me ever since. I don’t think that the truth of it will ever fade:
Love is not just a feeling; it is a commitment.
I was sent the link to an article titled, “Love Not Enough To Make Marriage Work.”
Factors that affect marriage include age, children, finances and a host of other items. That feeling of love is simply not enough to make a marriage last. Or so the case seems to be.

Amen to that. I completely agree.

I am not so sure of that. I think if is THE RELATIONSHIP, then LOVE is ENOUGH ;-), but then that LOVE HAS TO BE MUTUAL!
