While on Facebook this morning I came across a post on my wall that sparked my interest. Really the title seemed sad, but drew me in none the less. Beautiful advice from a divorced man after 16 years of marriage. The article was his advice after reflecting on his ending marriage. I really thought that he offered up some great advice. Although it's told from a male perspective I think his advice works well for women to remember.
Far too often I think we tend to stop working on our relationships that mean the most to us. Our partners are someone that we see all the time. Day in and day out they are there. We get caught up in the day to day life that we sometimes get lazy. We stop as the article states "dating". I know that I am guilty of getting caught up at times.
Here is the link to the article. It really is a great read and although the reason he wrote this is sad I think he opened a lot of peoples eyes. http://jamesrusselllingerfelt.wordpress.com/2013/08/15/beautiful-advice-from-a-divorced-man-after-16-years-of-marriage/
Having been married almost 18 years I found this story to be so true. Will certainly pass along this story. Congratulations on your new direction. I've read your posts a couple of times and so far so good.
