The A-Z of love: M is for marriage

Congratulations, you’re married. What an extraordinary gesture you’ve made — this gift of yourself. And what an extraordinary gift has been given to you.

Schedule time together and imagine your life well lived.  Is it a story of children, a cosy home, a warm welcome to friends and family? Or  treks through Egypt and the Serengeti?
 
Think about children, attitudes to discipline, religion, schooling and who puts out the rubbish — it’s best to deal with the boring stuff at the start.
There are no wrong answers, it’s about what works for you both. 
It’s your story you’re writing together. Try different ideas. Aim for the stars — but make plans.
Life is fleeting. The more you plan to experience, the more you actually will. And the best thing? You get to do it with the one you love.
Plan to live a great life and start at the end. What would you want people to say about you at your funeral?  Morbid? Not if you really want to live. What legacy would you like to leave?
Write it down in a document of what you want to do with your life — and read it every day.
