We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams
come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication,
self-discipline, and effort. ~Jesse Owens
Actor Denzel Washington and wife Pauletta are on the cover
of this month’s Ebony Magazine celebrating 30 years of marriage. Also, many rumors are flying about an
impending divorce. I don’t bring this up
to spread gossip, but only to introduce today’s topic. “Dedication” as it relates to marriage. You see 30 years is nothing to sneeze
at. For all the people waiting in the
wings for the next big Hollywood breakup story, I say have several seats. As a
person that understands how much work and sacrifice it requires to make a
marriage work I render a silent prayer for the couple and offer best wishes.
Dedication
Is the Meat of Commitment
“When it comes to commitment in the context of marriage,
oftentimes what people mean is making the commitment to settle down with one
person and getting married. The universal notion of commitment in marriage
usually involves devotion to one person, remaining faithful to each other,
sticking it out for the long haul and sharing their lives together. But when
two people say, 'I do,' commitment should go far beyond that. In addition to
saying we're committed to our spouses, we should also show it in the form of dedication.”- Kevin Farell,

Love
Doesn’t Leave When The Going Gets Tough
Commitment keeps couples together and is a cornerstone of
marriage. We wouldn’t think of leaving our children as a solution to our
problems with them. The same goes for a
marriage you don’t’ just run when the going gets tough. Understand that
commitment is a choice, and therefore can be redeemed at any time in a
marriage.

Love Is
Simple, So Simply Love
Marriage is an endless journey that is meant to be enjoyed. May we all learn to simply love and stop
adding layers of complications. If you
are in a relationship and your status is “It’s Complicated” I say it is time
for you both to get back to basics. Love isn’t the blame; as frail humans we
add the complications, but remember love is simple.
