Love is a canoe



Good love is a quilt-light as feathers and strong as iron.
A good marriage is a canoe – it need care and isn’t meant to hold much – no more than two adults and few kids.
Desire for your loved one gives you the strength to paddle on.
Find time to be together every day – just the two of you – in your canoe.
Love infinitely and without question, as if the long days of summer will never end.
Remember that when a man breaks his promise in love, he breaks a promise to himself, too.
Your marriage is sacred. When you are together, be with each other.
There is nothing wrong with asking for help with your marriage.
Most likely, true love is nearby.
You will look at others with lust, and this will challenge the strength of your marriage. But if you are going to have a happy journey through this life, stay in your own canoe.
Honor your love and know that it is the one true thing. Sing out in celebration of your love! Call out hallelujah from your canoe!
1. Erase a trait. If there’s something your partner doesn’t like about you, change it.
2. Buy each other dinner. And not just at the local diner.
3. French kiss for a minute or more each day.
4. Make out in the parking lot after the movie against your car and then inside in the backseat.
5. Tell your lover as the little things about you that will help you understand you. Why are you holding back? Your lover needs to know.
6. Excuse behaviors you don’t like. If your partner can’t erase the trait, accept it.
7. Be free with money. You’ll be dead soon enough.
8. Go dancing somewhere that’s just a little dangerous
9. Take a trip to a nearby spot you’ve passed dozens of times and treat it like a five-star vacation.
10. 10. Hold hands in the supermarket

1. Listen to and respect every word your lover says.
2. Accept. Accept that love is given as a whole. Do not parse it out or solicit more to garland the love that’s already been given.
3. Give. Give wholly. Speak fully, share completely, and don’t hold back.
4. Make out in the parking lot.
After an argument, only absolute forgiveness puts your canoe on a smooth path once again.
Compromise keeps your canoe steady. Compromise and you will never go
