TRUE LOVE NEVER RUNS SMOOTHLY
True love is like paddling down
a river with all the hazards
of unexpected twists and turns.
You never know when you
will be challenged by speaking
an unkind word or worse yet—
losing your temper, or forgetting
to explain that when I hate you,
it’s because I love you.
There will always be frustrations
and a need to resolve differences
without anger.
Marriage is the art of differing.
