Sandra Bullock & Jesse James, Not Your Typical Hollywood Marriage?

Emotion and support for each other has been over flowing recently in various public events. Watching this can can cause us normal folks (and by normal I mean non-Hollywood stars) to have thoughts of inspiration as well a jealousy. Inspiration because I would like to strive to have in my marriage more of what they have, and jealousy because frankly, I do not want to have to work at it. Sandra said recently that her and Jesse's marriage is strong because she knows "He has her back."

Do you know what they have? Passion! They've had their share of personal problems to deal with and they have been able to do just that, deal with them. The reason for that is having passion and connection in a marriage will give you the ability to squash any challenges that can pop up.

As an example, if a marriage or relationship is having problems and there is no feeling of passion or connection even the smallest of problems are going to feel large and overwhelming. What if the couple in that same situation have to deal with a big problem? Many times, that's when the relationship falls apart.

The chances of healing a broken relationship are far greater the more connected you are to your partner. Maybe your relationship isn't broken, maybe it's just a little banged up, focus on increasing the passion and it will get stronger everyday. It's at that point the obstacles that life deals out aren't a big deal because you will know you can trust each other, and your relationship.

Want some home work? I dare you to take some time and think of two ways to put some PASSION back in your marriage or relationship, and take action and do them. Maybe it will be the way you can insure that you've got each others back the next time a challenge comes around.
