Think of all the young couples that you know. How few of them are really in love with each other after the first year! THINK OF ALL THE YOUNG COUPLES THAT YOU KNOW HOW FEW OF THEM ARE REALLY IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER AFTER THE FIRST YEAR
u, Caroline, upon your own responsibilities. If your health should not be good use common sense and try to improve it--make as light of it as possible, and do not complain. It is such a temptation to work upon a loved one’s feelings and secure oceans of sympathy, but often the second or third time you do so an element of boredom--or, at best, patient bearing of the fret--will come into his listening to your plaints. If he is ill himself do not fuss over him, but at the same time make him feel that no mother could be more tender and thoughtful than you are being for his comfort. Do not be touchy and easily hurt. Remember he may be thoughtless, but while he loves you he certainly has no deliberate intention of wounding you. Be cheerful and gay, and if he is depressed by outside worries show him you think him capable of overcoming them all. Let your thoughts of him be always that he is the greatest and best, and the current of them, vitalized by love, will assist him to become so in fact.
