The Marriage Train

Do you ever feel like you just don't love your spouse anymore?
The fact is love is not dependent on our feelings and emotions. The fact is feelings come and go. None of us always feels intensely romantic and loving towards our spouse.

In a genuine love relationship, there are times of closeness and caring, but there are also times of distance and disinterest. And worst feels nothing at all.
Emotions are very unstable. They are just ephemeral. And you can't build anything so permanent on something so shaky. So where does the stability in marriage come from? How can we weather the vicissitudes of everyday life?

The key to a lifelong love is found in a commitment of the will, which is like the engine on a train - it will keep you moving down the right track. But feelings are like the caboose, being pulled along by the powerful engine at the other end. Once you make up your mind to have a successful marraige, no matter what, you will no longer be shaken by the ebb and flow of emotions.
Which end of the train is pulling your marital relationship?

It's a question worth pondering.
