The glory of the sons is their fathers.
Proverbs 176
LOWS
And Eli the priest heard all that his sons were
doing and how they lay with women and he said to
them ... Why do you do such evil things? ...
But they would not listen to the voice of their
father and the Lord desired to put them to death.
1 Samuel 222

Show me a man and woman who have children and I
will show you a man and a woman who need more
than ever to nurture their relationship to ensure
it thrives and grows. Theres something about
romance thats intensely personal. It all gets
started when two people look at each other and
feel something powerful happening inside
themselves. They sit down with each other and
begin to share their thoughts and feelings. They
talk about their dreams and their goals, their
values, their beliefs, their hopes, and their
fears.

There are few, if any, happily married persons
Ive interviewed who can get what they need from
one another without engaging in this very
personal, but direct process, on a regular
basis. Sometimes men, who spend tremendous
energy in their careers, want their wives to feel
their love on the basis of how hard I am working
for both of us. It doesnt work like this. And
sometimes women, who give passionately to their
children, want their husbands to see how much I
obviously
24
love you because of how much I am giving to our
kids. It doesnt work this way either. Romance
requires personal, direct, face to face time.
There is never a time when two people can keep
their love growing and prospering without plenty
of energy spent relating to each other
individually and intimately. This is why I
encourage people who have children to schedule
time for romance. Work it in ... at least once a
week.
