I like this poster because it forces us to live up to a standard. We live in the throw away society. From fast food containers to tv’s and lawn mowers and most recently marriages. Do you remember going on errands with your dad or maybe grandpa and always winding up at the mechanic who was fixing the tube for the tv or how the lawn mower was running. I grew up on a ranch so those memories are a childhood staple.
It seems today we don’t even try to fix things that break, we throw it away and go get a new one. Please don’t do that to your marriage. If there are problems, if it isn’t running properly go get it fixed. Don’t throw it away without trying to help it, your marriage deserves that much.
I don’t know about you but I want to be the couple in the poster above. I want to have the time and history with one person and grow old with them.
Do you need the reminder? Then print this out or take a picture of it with your phone and keep it with you. I am going to keep fixing my marriage. Please join me! Comment below with the commitment of fixing your marriage when problems arise.

Yay! So happy to hear that. I’m excited about growing old with my hubby. I don’t have the history with anyone else.
love it!
my parents have been married over 50 years!
my mom used to say: “it was more than 3/4 of my life!”

What a testimony your parents had. 50 yrs is awesome. I know I have already been married over half my life. But thats what happens when you marry at 12. lol
So much is disposable today. Even with encouragement to recycle environmentally there needs to be more encouragement to build lasting PERSONAL relationships.

Recycle, reuse is a great motto. But with relationships just keeping on keeping on is the best motto.
