Many people assume once they fall in love, that love will always last. But divorce statistics and other breakups tell us otherwise.
If we want an intimate relationship to last, we must treat it like a rose garden by giving it an abundance of love, tenderness and attention. A rose garden that is well nurtured will blossom year after year into beautiful roses whose colors and scents offer a little touch of heaven to anyone fortunate enough to be near that garden.
But neglect that rose garden and gradually it will die, all of its former beauty just a memory, while its discolored thorns remain. The equivalent in relationships is to take the other person for granted and to forget to practice the loving acts of kindness and attention that originally attracted them. Add in some abuse and the relationship will evolve into little more than discolored thorns.
There is nothing greater in life than love, as it uplifts our heart and our spirits for it is a celebration of life and therefore there is nothing more meaningful and deserving of our time and devotion.
