Marriage  is what you make it.  You can work hard at communicating and you can celebrate your life together.  You can make plans for your future that give each of you the opportunity to express yourself in your work and at home.  Make a list of places you would like to visit, goals you would like to achieve, and where you want to be in five years.  Decide what activities you enjoy and do them together.  See plays, listen to music,and make friends with people who have common interests.  Getting involved in your church and community, as a couple, will be rewarding and fulfilling for you both.  Treat each other as a gift and take time in your day, to talk and share your experiences.  As you make the best of what life has to offer, and share more and more great experiences, and perhaps some sad times; your love will grow, as it is meant to, but it takes an enormous commitment from both people.
