    Soulmate-ness isn’t found, it is cultivated through time and effort.

    Yes, amen! Love is a choice.

    I like bumper cars and go carts, too. Ha! Nothing says love quite like crashing cars into one another. for the sheer joy of it all. What can I say, we’re a weird species. 🙂

    Yes!!! This is what we share with our readers all the time. A good marriage comes from two people willing to give 100% each to cultivating their relationship. Thanks Mitch—I’m sharing on our blog if you don’t mind.

    Love is a daily choice. Fifty-six years of marriage has taught us that. I like the bumper car idea. It’s often like that.

    Kristine and I are so different and yet so alike. She feeds my soul.

    Oh how true. Choice is a wonderful thing. It keeps us free and humble. We’ll said.

    I have been making that same choice to love my wife every day for 21 years and then some. Commitment, a healthy dose of humility, gratitude and forgiveness. Shared laughter and at times, tears. On point, Mitch!

    Yes! There is no point at which a marriage can safely go on auto-pilot. Steering has to happen every minute and every day. Thanks for this reminder, Mitch.
