Post written by Leo Babauta. Before I learned how to change habits, I was stuck.

Happy Marriage Stories

Here is your Monday STORY on: LOVE: What are the right actions to take in love? As with any big question you'll need to split the problem into smaller sections and deal with them individually. You may have to split the one big problem into 100 parts if necessary, as the smaller they are the easier they are to resolve. Intuitively we know the action to take, but more often than not we have an inner driving force that steers us away from this. It is this pull that wisdom needs to defeat. To not accept that a pull is there will only lead to further anguish, we need to be aware of its presence to actually see its activity. If you have followed an action that has not been strictly correct, but done so nonetheless, will make you fully appreciate the power this force has. For want of a better explanation we appear to forget. Then on top of that forgetting we have some apparent justification. Love is open and free, and not full of justification for not doing. Today's story illustrates how simple love can be if it is allowed to happen. Forgetting becomes the barrier we use and we are better to operate instinctively. CHAIN OF LOVE "How do you account for your remarkable accomplishment in life?" Queen Victoria of England asked Helen Keller. "How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf, you were able to accomplish so much?" Ms. Keller's answer is a tribute to her dedicated teacher. "If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown." According to speaker Zig Ziglar, "Little Annie" Sullivan, as she was called when she was young, was no stranger to hardship. She was almost sightless herself (due to a childhood fever) and was, at one time, diagnosed as hopelessly "insane" by her by caregivers. She was locked in the basement of a mental institution outside of Boston. On occasion, Little Annie would violently attack anyone who came near. Most of the time she generally ignored everyone in her presence. An elderly nurse believed there was hope, however, and she made it her mission to show love to the child. Every day she visited Little Annie. For the most part, the child did not acknowledge the nurse's presence, but she still continued to visit. The kindly woman left cookies for her and spoke words of love and encouragement. She believed Little Annie could recover, if only she were shown love. Eventually, doctors noticed a change in the girl. Where they once witnessed anger and hostility, they now noted an emerging gentleness and love. They moved her upstairs where she continued to improve. Then the day finally came when this seemingly "hopeless" child was released. Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to help others as she, herself, was helped by the kindly nurse. It was she who saw the great potential in Helen Keller. She loved her, disciplined her, played with her, pushed her and worked with her until the flickering candle that was her life became a beacon of light to the world. Anne Sullivan worked wonders in Helen's life; but it was a loving nurse who first believed in Little Annie and lovingly transformed an uncommunicative child into a compassionate teacher. "If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown." But if it had not been for a kind and dedicated nurse, the name of Anne Sullivan would have remained unknown. And so it goes. Just how far back does the chain of redemption extend? And how for forward will it lead? Those you have sought to reach, whether they be in your family or elsewhere, are part of a chain of love that can extend through the generations. Your influence on their lives, whether or not you see results, is immeasurable. Your legacy of dedicated kindness and caring can transform lost and hopeless lives for years to come. You can never overestimate the power of your love. It is a fire that, once lit, may burn forever.

Some long happy marriage stories?..please!!?
I am always hearing stories, or reading these questions about unhappy marriages and losing the love for your spouse. I am 23 and my boyfriend is 24, we met in college and have been dating for 2 years. I know many people say this, but for me it is absolutely true, that he is my best friend. We talk about anything and everything, I can rely on him and count on him for anything. He is attentive and sweet and charming, he even cooks dinner, takes out the trash and cleans house!! My question is, we are talking more and more about marriage and I am thinking (hoping!) that the question will be asked soon! But after reading all these horror stories, and having his own brother going through a divorce, we are both scared. I understand things change over the years, but what are some ways that you have kept your marriage strong? And do you think its possible in this day and age for a young couple to make it? also, we have moved out of state together, away from family and friends. Both are working great jobs and have our own apartment (I don't want a house until we are married) So a lot of the 'adjusting to living together' things have already been worked out... a couple fights over laundry and everythings been smooth sailing-haha

I have seen all the bad on here, it is time for the positive. Here's mine I met my wife now almost 14 years ago, we have been married for 11 1/2 years. There are times that she drives me absolutely crazy and I know I do the same to her. But we are happy. We talk about it all the time, there are times we do not like each other very much, but we always love each other. We share our beautiful children, and each other. Despite the rough times, I would not trade one second with my wife for anything or anyone in this universe. Please share your positive stories here so we can change the mood on here for a least a few minutes.
