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.”
