Our first talk in 2010 started with Reverend Dr Bob Hadley sharing with us his wisdom of what is required for couple’s happiness. He counseled young couples about to be married in the army. His first question always was: What do you see in Him or Her that makes you want to marry?” Often the answer was not clear. “Well, he or she is attractive”. What values do you share? What goals do you have? As a result, many of the young couples reconsidered the wisdom of their marriage plans. Dr Hadley then asked us what it is that is important in a lifetime relationship. The discussion that followed and a survey on that subject suggested a list of ideas:

1. Communicate and listen 2. teaches respect for others 3. develop a sense of trust. 4. have a sense of play and humor. The list goes on with shared responsibility, sense of right and wrong, sense of family, shared religious core, respect for each other’s privacy, service to others etc.

It was a good reminder to all of us.
