6 Ways We Keep Our Love Alive
Being married and being happily married are two very different things. There are tons of
couples out there who have not gotten a divorce, and may never intend to, but their love
died a long time ago. You can see it in their faces and hear it in their words. The
passion is gone. They are married but their love has been snuffed out by the demands
of life. Love that was once alive and thriving is now seemingly dead.
