A Good Thought

"Total unselfishness is sure to accomplish another factor in
successful marriage. If one is forever seeking the interests, comforts, and
happiness of the other, the love found in courtship and cemented in
marriage will grow into mighty proportions. Many couples permit their
marriages to become stale and their love to grow cold like old bread or
worn-out jokes or cold gravy. Certainly the foods most vital for love
are consideration, kindness, thoughtfulness, concern, expressions of
affection, embraces of appreciation, admiration, pride, companionship,
confidence, faith, partnership, equality, and interdependence."

( (President Spencer W. Kimball, "Oneness in Marriage," Ensign, Mar. 1977, 5))
