Don't let wedding planning take precedent over your relationship.

I was walking down the street one day when an elderly couple caught my eye. They were holding hands and still looked at each other with loving affection. The husband even stole a kiss from his "girl" as they walked into the ice cream shop. I was so drawn to the couple that I decided to stop in the ice cream shop myself. At some point, we struck up a conversation. They told me they had been married for 60 years. I asked them what their secret was. Here is what they told me.
Communication in a relationship is like fuel in a car. If you don't have fuel, you still have a car but it's not going anywhere. If you don't have communication, you still have a relationship but it's not going anywhere.
