Marriages are always moving from one season to another. Sometimes we find ourselves in winter--discouraged, detached, and dissatisfied; other times we experience springtime, with its openness, hope, and anticipation.

The cycle repeats itself many times throughout the life of a marriage, just as the seasons repeat themselves in nature.
