Charlottesville, VA Marriage Counseling – Couples, Relationships, Therapy
Take a moment to think back on all of the animated movies about love and romance that you’ve likely watched as a child; you know the ones… a dreamy-eyed young maiden wishes to find her true love, some magic dust gets sprinkled on a vegetable or two, and then a charming prince sweeps her up, and they sail off into the sunset on his father’s yacht. Ok, so maybe I’m mixing a few of those together, but they almost always end with the phrase, “…and they lived happily ever after.” But have you ever wondered why the writers never bothered to show the “happily ever after” (marriage) part of the story? Maybe they haven’t quite figured that part out…
For most of us, the idea of never-ending, all-conquering romantic love has been taught to us over and over again throughout our youth. People have become so indoctrinated with this idea that more often than not they enter into relationships, especially marriage, with very unrealistic expectations. The truth is that love isn’t a feeling – it’s a decision, and it’s one that must be intentionally made every single day. It’s been said that our feelings are just as likely to be the result of our actions as our actions are of being the result of our feelings. Maybe that sounds a bit confusing, but it basically means that if we choose to act a certain way even when we don’t “feel like it”, our feelings about that particular act will, over time, become positive. This is a crucial part of building a successful marriage, but it’s not easy!
Let’s face it, marriage isn’t a fairytale… It’s hard work.
