There is a one-size fits all prescription for successful marriages. Here it is for me at least.

Leaning Forward
By Bill Cottringer

Not the first time you know,
Getting married once again,
Worried about the past
And how the future will go.
What’s the difference you ask?
How to pass the test?
Right choice, right person
Right time, right everything.
What starts good,
Usually goes better;
Nice to look at,
Fun to be around,
Great attraction,
Good character,
Safe place to fall;
No judgments,
No competition,
No fussing or fighting;
Just excitement and peace,
Love, faith and hope,
Laughing and crying.
Some insecurity,
Lessened by talking
And self-control.
Togetherness feels right,
And acceptance is easy;
Spiritually connected;
But the real secret—
Building more good feelings,
Than allowing bad ones.
That’s the secret,
Of the lasting ring.


The prosperity Zone
