Marriage
Disclaimer:         These are my thoughts and ideas.  They do not reflect the ideas of any specific group or ideology.  They are based solely on my 20+ years of experience and the observation of countless relationships, both good and bad.  This is not a “how to” as much as it is “things to consider.”
For simplicity, these articles refer to the traditional husband / wife relationship, but can be applied to any type of marital arrangement.
 Our closest most intimate of relationships is, or should be, with our spouse. That is to whom we turn to first when we are hurting or angry.  They are our comfort, our solace, our refuge. Privately, they tell us if we are wrong and why, but publicly they are our strongest advocate.  
Respect is the foundation of a good marriage.  Without respect for one’s spouse, it is hard to truly love them, and impossible to be in love with them. Think about it.  If we do not respect someone, we are often second guessing anything they say or do. We consider them less than we are, our ideas are superior, our ways are always better. A lack of respect for a person makes it difficult, if not impossible to truly trust and value that person. If you don’t trust or value your spouse, how can you say you are in love with them?

Relationships
Disclaimer:         These are my thoughts and ideas.  They do not reflect the ideas of any specific group or ideology.  They are based solely on my 20+ years of experience and the observation of countless relationships, both good and bad.  This is not a “how to” as much as it is “things to consider.”
 The best relationships are the ones we choose, whether they be friendships, familial connections, or marital connections.  As children, we are expected to enjoy our family, both immediate and extended.  As adults, we choose to continue to nurture those relationships, or not.  They are still our family, but we are no longer required to associate with them.  We may see them at weddings, funerals, or graduations, but we don’t make a conscious effort to be involved.
Instead, as adults we begin to choose our family. We choose our friends and through the years of friendship, trials, and successes we determine who of those people become our “family.”  These are the ones that we can call at any time of day or night and ask for help and they will be at the front door in 24 hours or less. The ones on whose shoulder you can cry, or yell, or vent, and they will understand what you are saying, even though you aren’t saying it well.  The ones that are always on your side, but brave and strong enough to tell you when you are wrong or willing to help you see things from a different perspective.  These are the people that become your family, regardless of whether they are related by blood.
