The First Day Cliche

Everyone yawns when soemone uses the old adage: today is the first day of the rest of your life. Some sayings, when overused, lose their thought-provoking nature.
But have you ever thought: today is the first day of the rest of my marriage? Certainly, that is true…but is an apllicable attitude in your heart and mind? Do you actually anticipate the ability to interact with your spouse in an encouraging and meaningful way, realizing that how you respond to each other today is the beginning of the future vitality of your loving relationship. Marriage works when you work at it, and we would all do well to remind ourselves each day that today is, indeed, the first day of the rest of our marriage.
What are you going to do with it?
