In his book "Relationship Rescue," Dr. Phillip C. McGraw, Ph, D., better known as "Dr. Phil" states, "The quality of a relationship is a function of the extent to which it is built on a solid underlying friendship and meets the needs of the two people involved." According to Dr. Phil, if any of the following statements is not true for you, then you are not ready for a successful relationship:

I realize that it's not too late.

It is reasonable for me to want a rewarding and fulfilling relationship.

I am entitled to, and deserve, a high-quality, caring relationship.

I have identified the wrong thinking that has previously contaminated my relationship.

I have identified the bad spirits that contaminated my relationship.

I have embraced the Personal Relationship Values that will configure me for success.

I have diagnosed and gotten real about the pain and problems in my relationship.

I accept and acknowledge full ownership of my contribution to where this relationship is.

I am committed to tapping into my core of consciousness.

 

 A Magical Marriage Success Story

Honesty, Respect, and Laughter are the 3 most important things a marriage needs to outlast time.  Of course, intense Passion comes in a close 4th.  I know the reason why my marriage stays strong and blissful is that:

1.  We are honest with each other.  Of course with Honesty comes the ability to communicate.  So, because we aren't afraid to communicate, we aren't afraid to be honest.  Honesty comes from many areas, like what you "really" want to do on tonight's date, to telling them that a stranger flirted with you recently, to sharing everything  about yourself (including your past), and even how much money you "really" spent on that new dress.

2. Respect is SO important.  I would NEVER disrespect my husband (or vice versa). Even if he did something that made me so angry I could scream.  Neither one of us would "talk about" the other to our friends in a disrespectful way, nor would would argue/fight or mistreat each other in front of anyone we know.  If we have negative issues regarding the other, it ALWAYS comes home with us where we TALK in private.  And here, we are open and honest and NEVER mean or derogative.  I think because we share so much, we never have to "vent" on our friends about each other.  Again, if we have a problem, we know it'll get talked or worked through with each other.

3. Laughter.  You need to laugh, to tell jokes, to find the humor in the argument or the awful things the kids did that day, whatever...We laugh in bed all the time, especially.  Not at each other, of course, but with each other.  We always try to end our day with something that makes us smile (besides sex).  Thinking young at heart helps, too.  Acting silly with my husband makes me feel younger and more vibrant, not old and boring. 

Ladies and gents...these are the 3 key ingredients to our successful and fulfilling 7 year marriage.  And while I understand there are many years ahead of us, I have NO doubt that by keeping these 3 key ingredients in our recipe for true love, we'll be eating like king and queen for decades to come.

"One of the biggest mistakes you can make in a relationship is selecting a mate that you think you know and hoping that they turn out to be the person of your dreams.  Love, or what you think is love, may prevent you from asking the tough questions in a relationship.  Sometimes the person that you need to direct the tough questions to is yourself."
