One of my brother’s sons-in-law told him that the best advice he ever gave him was, “Marriage is 30% choice, 70% hard work. Work hard.”
As I thought about that admonition it occurred to me that this simple rule of thumb was key to any substantive, meaningful and ongoing relationship.
Viewed in a broader context all of life is 30% choice, 70% hard work.
Work hard!
