We took our commitment very seriously early on. And what happens when you make a commitment is, you are freed up from worrying that the other person is going to leave. This means you can make a mistake and it won’t ruin the relationship. This gives you a safe place to work through your issues and improve as a person.
– Michele Beach
One of my personal philosophies is to make choices to be the best person you can be in any situation. We can’t all be the smartest, tallest, or the fastest, but you can make the decision to be the most honest, and to be a person of good character. When we decided to have a successful marriage, I decided I wanted to try to be the absolute best spouse that I could be.
– Charles Beach
