When we find that special person we want to spend the rest of our lives with we need to always remember how that person made us feel.

As we started our courtship we put our best foot forward so to speak

kind, considerate, loving, patient, and trusting.

Never would we have dreamt of belittling them or disrespecting them.

Any little personality quirks we thought to be cute, adorable, or whatever.

Certainly we were highly attentive to the slightest emotion whether good or bad.

As they have become our spouses tho we find that we are more irritable, bent out of shape easily , quick to take offence AND even retaliate.

The attention we have shown in our courtship has become nothing more than a wave of the arm to get them to move out of the way of the television.

Things that used to be entertaining qualities have been reduced to mere annoyances.

What has changed? are you not the same people that you were during the courtship?

Do you still put your best foot forward, but only to stomp it in a demand?

Take a long look in the mirror to see if you can find any resembleance of the person he or she fell in love with .

If your relationship is lacking that spark that it once had step back, note what the problem area is and start dating again, date your significant other.

Show them that you would choose them over and over again.
