… or don’t get married at all.

One of the last places you’d ever expect to find a spiritual awakening is in an Adam Sandler movie. However, there is a big one at the end of 50 First Dates when Drew Barrymore — who has no short term memory (always a good thing) — wakes up and sees flowers and photos…

The photos slowly tell her the story of her romance, then marriage to Sandler – and then she sees she has children with him. It is all news to her!

The look of amazement and gratitude that washes over her perky-nosed face is absolutely inspiring.

It is the look we should all have every day as we realize whatever boons we have in our life – health, abundance, and most of all — love…

Ezra Pound said famously that poetry is news that stays news.

Its ability to astonish and awaken does not fade with time or re-encountering.

So it should be for love.

Love is news that stays news.

If you’ve had a baby – you know it. Every time you see his or her face, you fall in love all over again.

What about your intimate lover?

Here’s a thought…

Make your life a life of love’s poetry.

Live so that that the news of your intimate love stays news.

See it anew. Feel it anew. Express it to your lover – as if for the first time, every single day.

Be astonished.

Marry your lover daily.

That is the only marriage worth committing to.
