People who meditate develop a habit of practicing sincere gratitude which helps them in all their relationships. It is a relationship-strengthening emotion because it requires us to see how we’ve been supported and affirmed by other people.
This happens with all relationships, not just in marriages. If we are not proactive in our relationships, they start to seem dry and become cumbersome. We have to have respect for the other person, which is reflected in how sensitively we treat them.
We need to understand the hierarchy of connections. Ultimately, we must connect to something above ourselves such as God. This can give us the power to spread happiness and joy around the world.
If someone chooses what they love to do, there is no stress in their life. As they say, If you do what you love, you will never have to work a day in your life.
To accept someone when everything is going right is easy. But when things are falling apart around you and you stick together, that’s the test of a relationship. Love is when we have every reason to break up but we do not.
