The Foundation

I feel that lots of times people go into marriage having a "storybook idea" of mushy, mushy romantic love. Well, it's not! I think movies and books that even try to promote this idea should come with a disclaimer much like those diet programs that state "results not typical".

I call this post The Foundation because even when we don't like the person we are married to, as long as we have the foundation of love, we have what we need to see it through, to work through the downs, cherish in the good times and be content with those times when we just "are".

Since this is my first post I will say that foundation of love or not, there are times that a marriage shouldn't work out and that is when there is abuse involved. I will be posting about abuse and list websites in future posts so that if you or anyone you know is suffering from this they can get the help they need.
