In Need of Repair

“Another flaw in the human character is that everyone wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance.”  [Kurt Vonnegut]

It's very tempting to get intoxicated by the joy and adrenaline of working towards a goal or reaching a milestone.  The real work begins in maintaining what you've built.  A healthy relationship is not defined by the accolades a couple receives as they reach their milestone anniversaries--A more authentic barometer of any relationship is found in the faith and attention two people bring to each other as they nurture and maintain their relationship throughout the less glamorous challenges of building a loving and supportive foundation.
