On MarriageBy Kahlil GibranThen Almitra spoke again and said, Andwhat of Marriage, master? And he answered saying: You were born together, and together youshall be forevermore. You shall be together when the whitewings of death scatter your days. Ay, you shall be together even in thesilent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dancebetween you. Love one another, but make not a bondof love: Let it rather be a moving sea betweenthe shores of your souls. Fill each other’s cup but drink not fromone cup. Give one another of your bread but eatnot from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous,but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alonethough they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into eachother’s keeping. For only the hand of Life can containyour hearts. And stand together yet not too neartogether: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grownot in each other’s shadow.

We are so happy for you Casey and we can't wait to meet Jared. After 42 years of marriage we can safely say, be kind to each other. Give each other space. Respect each other. Love grows in that environment. Wishing you many years of happiness!

At its core, love is a decision to be committed to another person. It is far more than a fleeting emotion as portrayed on television, the big screen, and romance novels. Feelings come and go, but a true decision to be committed lasts forever—and that is what defines healthy marriages. Marriage is a decision to be committed through the ups and the downs, the good and the bad. When things are going well, commitment is easy. But true love is displayed by remaining committed even through the trials of life.

Almost all happiness in this world is born from ordinary things.  Remain open to it, and the littlest moments can hold the biggest places in your hearts, and turn to be where you find true and lasting treasure.  Congratulations!,

Wishing you many years of happiness and growth together!You are both very special people!
