About 6 months after the wedding, either
he or she, sometimes both, wake up one
morning and say the words "Oh my
goodness. Oh my gosh. Oh no. I made the
biggest MISTAKE IN MY LIFE. I MARRIED
THE WRONG ONE."
And it's not that they married the wrong
one.
The infatuation wore off.
And then they discover that the person
that they're married to is not perfect.
It's okay. There are a lot of Milas.
He's also got some shortcomings. She's
wonderful, but she has, you know, sort
of things. And I believe this is the
first really dumb mistake that very
smart couples make. They mistake
infatuation for love. Infatuation has a
shelf life. Infatuation is the husband
looks into the color's eyes and he is
gone. It's automatic. It's instant. It
doesn't take work.
But it has a very limited shelf life. 6
months, a year, but that's it. Then it's
gone. It's kind of like the sulfur on a
kitchen match. You're supposed to strike
it so it flames up, but then the wood
has to catch.
The job of the couple is then to work on
the bond of love, the bond of respect,
the real connection between husband and
wife. And many, many couples make a
fatal error early on in their marriage.
They wake up one morning, the
infatuation's gone, and they assume that
this is it. And what they fail to
realize is this is it. It's time to get
to work.
