Love is Manners



Why is it that people are so polite to each other during the courtship period, even during the honeymoon period, and then gradually lose politeness until they treat strangers better than the very person they profess to love?  Does it just become too much trouble to say please and thank you?  Does he think she loves him so much she must surely love his belches, too?  Does she think he will want to hear his name screeched in that high-pitched nag she does so well the minute he walks in the door?  Wives would do well to remember that "a soft answer turneth away wrath."  Husbands would do well to remember that their home isn’t a locker room of guys.  Being polite takes so little effort, but pays enormous dividends in any relationship.  It tells your loved one that you regard them as someone deserving of your best you, which they are!
