* “They do not love who do not show their love.”—William Shakespeare

* “If couples would put half the effort into marriage that they put into courtship, they would be surprised how things would brighten up.”—Billy Graham

Many marriage experts have expressed this same thought. Once you’re married, the courtship doesn’t end; it’s just taken to another level.

* “The goal in marriage is not to think alike, but to think together.”—Robert C.

“You mustn’t force sex to do the work of love, or love to do the work of sex.”—Mary McCarthy

In other words, both sex and love are needed in a marriage. Sometimes sex is the best way to show your mate that you love him or her. It can be just what is needed to bond you, to create intimacy and a time when you can deeply connect. At other times, though, your mate needs to feel your love manifested in other ways—such as through simple affection, or appreciation, or letting them sleep in while you get up with the children. You need to know what is needed and when it is needed.
