Love on purpose! Live on purpose!

I recently turned on an old play list on my computer. One of my favorite Garth Brooks songs caught my attention. The Dance is a song about the advantage of not knowing what the future holds. Garth sings about losing the love of his life and how he would not want to miss the great times he had with her before the end of the relationship. Most of us would agree with that sentiment. If we knew what was going to happen what would be the point of living? The pain we feel when we do not know the outcome makes the good times so much more enjoyable. This is one of the lyrics, "our lives are better left to chance, I might have missed the pain but I would not want to miss the dance". Why leave life to chance? Frequently I speak about loving on purpose. When you love on purpose your marriage is stronger, happier and sexier. You are healthier in body, mind and spirit. What about the rest of your life? Of course random events are always going to occur but if you have a plan, a purpose you will be in much better shape to meet life's challenges. Love on purpose! Live on purpose!
