[part&nbsp;ii]]]></title><type><![CDATA[link]]></type><html><![CDATA[<p>ever since the beautiful val and i got married, God has put relationships [and especially marriage] strongly on my heart as something to pour into, not only for us, but others as well… so i asked a bunch of my married friends [who i think are married well] for one thing that they see as vital/helpful to having a good marriage:</p>
<p>&#8220;Work as a team. You both want the team to win, so won&#8217;t want to fight against each other. </p>
<p>Give each other space to be yourselves-an ever expanding mentality, not a restricting mentality. </p>
<p>Always have a dream, individually and together, and work toward it. </p>
<p>Be a kind person. Who wouldn&#8217;t want to be with a kind person. </p>
<p>Celebrate your differences as well as your similarities. You don&#8217;t own your spouse. You are a witness to their life. </p>
<p>Have fun.&#8221;</p>
