Reading Marriage is:

Posted on October 1, 2007 | Filed Under Readings

Marriage is …….

Marriage is a dynamic process of discovery
Marriage is a journey, not an arrival.

In marriage, being the right person is as important as finding the right person.

Marriage is starting to love, over and over again.

Marriage is a life’s work.

Marriage is an art ….. and like any creative process,
It requires active thought and effort.
We have to learn how to share on many different levels.
We need to practice talking from the heart,
And understanding attitudes as well as words.

Giving generously and receiving graciously are talents that are available to anyone.
But all these skills need to be developed, if the marriage picture that we paint is to
be anything approaching the masterpiece intended.

Reading – From “Gift From The Sea” by Anne Morrow Lindbergh

From “Gift From The Sea” by Anne Morrow Lindbergh

When you love someone, you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. It is even a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid it will never return. We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity; when the only continuity possible, in life as in love, is in growth, in fluidity – in freedom, in the sense that the dancers are free, barely touching as they pass, but partners in the same pattern.

The only real security is not in owning or possessing, not in demanding or expecting, not in hoping, even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what was in nostalgia, nor forward to what it might be in dread or anticipation, but living in the present relationship and accepting it as it is now. Relationships must be like islands, one must accept them for what they are here and now, within their limits – islands, surrounded and interrupted by the sea, and continually visited and abandoned by the tides.

A Guide to Getting Remarried in Style

It seems like everyone has an opinion on second weddings. “You shouldn’t wear white” or “You shouldn’t have such a fancy second wedding” or even “Eloping is what made the first marriage fail – you have to have a big church wedding this time.” If you’re planning a second wedding while trying to sort out etiquette from opinions, here’s a guide for everything from what to wear to how to register. Don’t worry – you’re older, you’re wiser and you’ve got some experience under your belt – this time should be a snap, right?
Second Wedding Dresses and Attire

The good news is that the old rule about not wearing white for a second wedding has gone out the window. You can wear whatever color feels and looks good on you. Most brides getting remarried have already had their “Princess in a white dress” moment the first time around, and so opt for a more mature look such as a brocade suit or a simple cocktail dress.

However, if you eloped the first time, or simply want to have that Princess moment again, there’s no reason why you can’t. In fact, as divorce and remarriage becomes an evermore regular part of our society, the possibilities for what a second wedding dress can be are endless.

Ideas for what to wear to a second wedding:

• a designer dress that you’ve been salivating over, but couldn’t justify its expense – until now
• an off-white floor-length sheath dress
• a beautiful suit, in any color
• especially if you looked like a demure princess the first time, wow ‘em with a sexy slip dress

Announcing Your Engagement and Telling Your Ex-Husband or Ex-Wife

The very first people you should tell are your children. You can ask them if they’d rather tell their other parent, or if they prefer that you share the news. If you don’t have children, it is certainly not mandatory that you inform your ex-spouse – only tell them if you’d rather they didn’t hear it from someone else. Many people find that its easiest to send a letter saying “I wanted to share with you the glad news that John and I are getting married. I’ve already told our children, and asked them to be a part of the wedding ceremony.” Afterwards, in the regular way.
