This Discussion features parts 1 and 2 of the video lectures “A Marriage Two Die For.”
In these presentations, Dr. Scalise outlines 7 factors in creating good marriages. This Discussion covers the first 5: Capacity, Goals, Time, Perseverance, and Consistency.
For this Discussion, focus on the notion of investing time! You obviously embrace the importance of investment, as you are involved in this course, and probably another degree. Scalise gives the example of the cultivation of an olive tree. From your own experience, illustrate the importance of investing time in a relationship!
It is not yet required reading, but Chapman (The 5 Love Languages) illustrates this in his introductory chapter when he mentions going from “in love” to “real love.”
Be sure to support your assertions.
