I like this quote about celebrating anniversaries:

"" A wedding is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and perseverance. The order varies for each year. "- Paul Sweeney

So much for "" And they lived happily ever after "" Huh?

One of the reasons why I use this quote so much is that it reflects the reality of long-term love relationships.

It can happen that you are really into each other, and it is timmes if you believe that your really not together, and everything in between.

So many people go into marriage believing the offer happily ever after, and she sets them up for frustration and disappoinment.

In her book "The Case for Marriage" authors Linda Waite and Maggie Gallagher that many unhappy couples happily report back in a few months or years.

The ebb and flow of relationships

Relations have a natural ebb and flow to them. If you do not feel close, it does not mean that the relationship is over. If you do not feel close to, it simply means that you are not feelig close.

Hang there, coonsistently do the things that help each of you feel with the other, and more than likely that you feel close and connected again.
