Talk about being married to your work!

My love and I are reading a really great book called Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts by Drs. Les and Leslie Parrot. (Yes, they are a married couple with the same first name.) I love it so far! I am only in the second chapter, but I would definitely recommend it to all of those engaged. It's like premarital counseling in a book.

Anyway, the point is, today I read a portion that sounded a lot like my post from yesterday and I just had to share!

Speaking on marriage it says, "We have put a lot of miles on this marriage. It has been exasperating, elating, horrible, wonderful, shackling, freeing. It has been our single most intimate source of conflict and joy. Still, it has so much to offer."

The next page offers a quote from Erich Fromm's book The Art of Loving. It says, "There is hardly any enterprise which is started with such tremendous hopes and expectations, and yet, which fails so regularly, as love."

How interesting that we can compare starting a business to love and marriage. Talk about being married to your work! If your job can even come close to blessing you as much as love and marriage do, then by golly it deserves the blood, sweat, and tears you put into it!
