Typically, the beginning of a marriage begins with a wedding. Whether it’s a small and intimate affair or a grand scale event, a wedding is filled with both beauty and love. As vows are exchanged, the couples covenant is launched, and love seems to linger longer within the air.

As both a guest and family member to several weddings including being a parent in two of them, I would venture to say that all weddings have a bit of magical to them. They possess moments that seem enchanting and charming. Almost fairy-tale like.

As a counselor, I sometimes refer to this special formation of love, charm, romance, commitment, and enchantment as bliss. Specifically marital bliss.

In Great Marriage, we encourage couples to keep their bliss as long as possible. Hold onto it tight. Don’t take it for granted. Enjoy every moment of its presence.

The magical of a wedding ceremony and the bliss formed in the couple’s relationship is a winning combination. It feels good; it is good; and it is often some of the happiest times of one’s lifetime.

All of this is good news.

However, magical type moments and relational bliss can fade. Time alone is a factor. As the daily grind drudges along and life responsibilities increase, the couple can experience a low point in both.
