THINK OF CARE IN THE CARING OF CHILDREN. CARE DOESN'T MEAN ONE HOPE THAT THEY TURN OUT TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND HAPPY. CHILD CARE IS WATCHING OVER THEM TO ENSURE THEIR SAFETY AND HAPPINESS, NOT JUST HOPING THAT THEY WILL BE ALL RIGHT AS ONE DRIVES OFF LEAVING THEM ALONE TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES.
THE SAME MEANING OF CARE APPLIES IN MARRIAGE. IF ONE IS EFFECTIVE IN CARING, ONE IS DOING WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE ONE'S SPOUSE HAPPY.
SO WHEN I I USE THE WORD "CARE" I USE IT TO INDICATE WHAT PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO DO FOR EACH OTHER. WHEN (YOU SAY YOU CARE FOR EACH OTHER), YOU ARE PROMISING TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY AND ENJOYMENT OF EACH OTHER'S LIFE, AND I AM DOING SOMETHING TO TRY TO ACHIEVE THAT "OBJECTIVE" OR NOT! IT TAKES WORK IF ONE CHOOSES TO "CARE."
