A successful Marriage

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.”

It is important to realize people change, and as a result your love changes. I think in order to have a successful relationship, you have to be able to adapt and find new ways to love the person your with. People are going to change as their lives change. The reason you fell in love with someone ten , twenty years ago may not be the same reason you love them now. I believe that a successful marriage requires you to stay in love with the person as they change and develop.

Doesn’t it mean that if you keep falling in love it sort of means you were out of love at some point? It’s more like a successful marriage requires nourishing of the love that is already there.

I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...
