The Grass Is Never Greener In the Other Side...

A man sitting on the bar around all his friends asked; "What is it called when one spouse goes on a trip?" His friends all came up with wrong answers so he smile and said laughing; If you all married you would know the answer. And with a smirk in his face he said; It is a trip for one, but a vacation for two...

I chose this for what to me is the obvious, what I see everywhere I look, couples tracking vacations apart, going to holidays in different cities, or some times they may be in the same city but separated by a few blocks because of each others family, friends, and often unfortunately just because they may think that the grass is greener in the other side.

Now a days couples have their own cars, bank account, they need a night out with the boys or with the girls, it is the new fad for awhile now, to be self sufficient, and what end up happening is anything but what they ever truly wanted to happen, they loose the one they are with, for those they can't live without because they may not like the one they love.

Reality is for all of you out there single, going out, living together, engaged or married, The grass is never greener in the other side, no other home will ever replace the one you are blessed to come to and stand in the outside looking in, if having days out by yourselves was a part of love, we would not feel the need to have them next to us all the time, and if you don't, well my dear brother or sister, you are either wasting your time by the wrong person, or made the mistake to marry for any other reason but, TRUE LOVE.

True love these days is not even the knot that holds two people together any longer, many of us are realizing because of the mistakes and the trials we already went through that love alone will not hold a marriage, it takes hearts filled of love, courage, endurance, kindness, forgiveness, and two hearts and mind willing to become one in faith and relying in God for every question, and any moment of weakness, that He may grow stronger in both, so that even though two comes into this commitment, only one heart, and one mind in total love and obedience, becomes one soul through Christ!

So if you ever see a man sitting somewhere asking this question; "What is it called when one spouse goes on a trip?" Give him the real answer; It is a trip missing one, and it should have been a vacation for two...
