#21.- So in love as the beginning

This is an special milestone: 12 years married + 7 seven years we have been engaged.

I can say the same in other words: 12 years building a project, 12 years sharing experiences, 12 years taking care each other, 12 years watering and reinventing the relation, 12 years of commitment, 12 years of confidence, 12 years of happiness... and much more.

But life is not a bed of roses. 12 years is a lot of time for don't appear any problem or dificult moment. As you can imagine, along 12 years Mr. Problem have visited us some times.

But with effort, speaking, looking for the positive part of the things, being candid, giving as much as possible, thinking in the couple more than one self, apologizing when necessary, recognizing own mistakes and work to avoid the repetition of the same ones mistakes, giving hugs, thinking in your partner worries, companionship, keep silence, make visible that your partner is special for you, are only some of the tools that everybody have in his toolbox to keep a relation.

And a marriage (or any other kind of relation) is the core for other social relations: at work, at neighborhood, at the town, at the country, ....  If we want to have a better world we should start taking care of our partner relations. 

Realize that, our behaviour in the relation will be copied by our kids.

If we do this work well, the future is promising. Kids learn by example. I hope have been a good example for my son.

Thanks Montse to be as you are.
