L-E-S-S-O-N-S

L-ove is one of the most enduring things
E-ndurance means abstinence from flings
S-trength requires staying away from the games
S-taying means to be aware of the flames
O-penness is not to be mistaken for invitation
N-ecessity means only to come with affirmation
S-acrifice comes with these words spelled above

*These lessons are my thoughts on staying in love

Wonderful! And published the day before my 49th wedding anniversary too! So I have to say, I have learned these lessons over and over and over.
