Loving someone is sacrifice and it takes a lot of things to consider when we love someone whether it may be for an opposite sex or for the family and friends..

Yes. Sacrificial love is the greatest. But this makes me confuse. Is it sacrificial love, if I sacrifice this perso because my friends and other people don’t like him?

I agree. Some people forget that we should not go into a relationship if you have second thoughts about commitment. Loving someone is all about surrendering ourselves emotionally.

Comment on You’re the teacher – your most valuable marriage lesson? by Holly

During pre-marital counseling I especially appreciated the conversation about roles; leader & helper. I also appreciate the above comment by Molly about talking about what to “take & leave” from parents’ relationships as there is some natural tendencies that are actually the “inequities” of previous generations but with God’s grace we can overcome!

One ongoing tip that I’m sure can be more eloquently deconstructed is the execution of talking nice. Over time, we forget to be encouraging, edifying, patient and pleasant in our conversation with each other. This is a good example of an opportunity to demonstrate ongoing kindness and love with a forgiving heart-attitude….Tone is a big deal.

…..Love your blogs Ryan & Jill!

Comment on The Secret To Marriage by joe

i think the secret is ‘before’ marriage. truly get to know your potential life partner. learn their values on raising children if children is in fact a common desire. i think you should consider scenarios in parenting with regards to discipline. two people with plans of marriage and children NEED to be on the same page as far as child rearing…very important. Having the same energy levels starting out can help avoid trouble in your fourties and fifties. The more you have in common, the better your chances of survival! You must feel the same about staying in shape, having self-pride, dignity. Finding a mate that enjoys many of the same things as you is crucial…..enjoying the same foods, outdoor activites for instance(bike riding, fishing, hiking, camping) can contribute to the success of a marriage. You should dig the same stuff……if you don’t, move on, it’ll never work! my opinion of course. my marriage is all but over as my last kid moves away due to my wife and I just simply do not enjoy the same activities and have much different energy levels. I really think if you’re someone that likes physical activities and trys to stay in shape, you NEED to find a mate with the same value, same energy level and pride, very important. Last but certainly not least, find a woman that loves to have sex daily, you’ll be so much happier, lol

Yo Ryan & Jill it’s very true indeed. If you have the feelings to keep it together then the question of happy & unhappy won’t arise. Yeah it’s true in long term many difficulty shows up but you need to think it as a problem not only for you. Whatever comes good or bad if you face it with hand in hand you’ll be happy. That’s what I know. Thanks for such a beautiful post.

Comment on Wanted: Couple friends by Tim

Tim — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 13:42:09 +0000

My wife and I found it hard to find couple friends, everyone we knew was single and that seemed to complicate things. We were talking one day about how there wasn’t a place to meet other couples easily. Well that gave me an idea to create a message board called CouplesList for couples that are wanting to meet other couple friends. I’m hoping it eventually makes meeting other couples a little easier.
