SECRETS
TO HAVING A GREAT MARRIAGE
“Just
one more minute.”
Always
be aware that this life is all you have.
Once
a minute is gone, there is no way to get it back,
no
matter how much apologizing or atoning you do.
There
will come a time when one of you will lie down
for
the last time.
Only
then will you wish you had those hours when,
in
anger, you didn’t speak to each other.
Only
then will you remember all the times you spent with friends,
while
your partner waited for you, alone.
Only
then will you remember the kind words you could have said,
but
didn’t.
Only
then will you remember when you could have shown
understanding, but you displayed anger.
Only
then will you remember when your partner
wanted
to talk, but you ignored her.
Only
then, when you hold her hand for the final time,
will
you pray for little more time,
“Please,
God - just one more minute.”
