Love and Marriage - An Editorial Love and marriage... do any of you remember the jingle from the sit-com?
They "Go together like a Horse and Carrriage." What a recipe for happiness! Do we have all the
ingredients? 
As a Florida wedding notary, it is sad for me to see how many couples just do not stay at it long enough! Granted, we human beings, are very
complex, no two of us are alike. But in one respect we can all agree, "Love is a wonderful feeling", especially
when we compare it to those fairy tale stories and romantic movies, which some of us women love. Who does not crave
all this emotion? We fall in love and Get Married...instant happiness right? Far from truth, a myth, a fantasy!
The problem is that in real life marriages, after the initial excitement of planning the wedding reception and spending all that money, it's all about sharing the toils of daily life. There are good times and there are bad ones! Sometimes love
ceases to look like that romantic movie we saw...the monotonous chores, not enough cash, the children take all your time,
or the years pass, and the couple is now exhausted. During these different stages, the pressure of the problems tend
to sweep away illusions and sometimes everything seems to fade. It is during these times, you would think it's time to work
at the marriage a bit harder! That is when many give up!
The issue here lies, in that in each
one of us is so very different. We do not all have the same spiritual strength. There are couples who survive these
episodes, but sadly, some do not. Often, in many marriage relationships there is one hopeless dreamer, and then the other
is the realistic one in life, or shall we say "The Rock." Conflict begins, when one in the partner needs
or wants more than the other partner can give them at the time. What a dilemma!
There is no complete
and perfect recipe for marriage, each couple has to experience and express their own feelings. Many let too
much pride, or lack of granting a pardon get in the way. Other times, everything fails because Real love
was not there to begin with. Remember my friends, there is a wise old saying that is good to recall,
"what is truly yours, can never be taken away."
In conclusion, communication, tolerance,
persistence, consistency and honesty are some of the key ingredients for this perfect wedding recipe, the rest of the formula
is an enigma! We do not have the complete equation, because if we did, divorce lawyers
would be out of business! The important factor is recognizing that married life is difficult, YES! ... but also knowing
that it's worth fighting for, especially if there is family at stake. That thought alone, "young lovers of today"
is one of the greatest key to your happiness in the future! Much
Luck and Love in Your Marriage Adventure! Isabel Albuerne The Event Lady
