If you see a married couple still in love through the years,
you may think how lucky they are.
But in marital relations, there is no such thing as luck.

They made many compromises,
they overlooked each other's faults.
They forgave many mistakes and endured many problems.
They spent years learning to understand one another.

Love has never been a matter of luck.
It's mutual giving, compromise, shared dreams,
care, respect, mercy and patience.
