Listening To Elvis Presley Saved My Marriage
Our relationship was going through a very difficult time. She was accusing me, I was accusing her, we argued with each other constantly. We had been so very happy together and madly in love ever since we first met, but for some reason, in the last couple of years, probably due to work commitments and various other things, we just seemed to grow apart.
I wasn't having an affair with anyone and I am sure she wasn't either. Anyway, neither of us had the time any more, that was the problem, time! Then one day, on an odd day, I found time to relax while the house was quiet and empty. She was out shopping and I just decided to do absolutely nothing except chill out and listen to some music. I used to listen to music all the time. In fact, one of the most enjoyable things we used to do together was cuddle up in front of the fire and listen to music, maybe with a glass of wine or two, and kiss and cuddle like teenagers. But that seemed such a long time ago now.
Anyway, I had a look through the dusty music collection and found a few elvis albums. The first track I played was "Heartbreak Hotel" which didn't do much to lighten my mood. The next track was "Love Me Tender" and I could certainly relate to the lyrics of that song. Then I played "Suspicious Minds" and the words of this song really sank home. "We can't go on together, with suspicious minds"!
The more I listened to the songs of Elvis, the more they seemed to have a deep meaning to my present problems. The next song was "Are You Lonesome Tonight" and as I listened, my eyes started stinging, tears welling up inside, I was really getting emotional, which is something I never do, at least not while listening to music. As I sat there playing through my Elvis collections, every one of his songs seemed to be speaking directly to me. I could imagine some of the pain and upset Elvis must have gone through when he lost Priscilla. And as I continued to listen and compare my relationship problems with the problems of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, the next songs that played were "Got a Lot Of Livin' To Do" and "Teddy Bear". It was those last two songs that made me decide there and then to do something to save my relationship with the woman I loved. And yes, I still loved her and I was sure that she still loved me. All we had to do was get our priorities right. So from that day on, I worked fewer hours and spent as much time as possible with the woman I loved. Our relationship was eventually repaired and we rediscovered each other.
All of this because of and thanks to Elvis Presley. Thank you Elvis, thank you for helping me hang on to my own Princess, my very own Priscilla!
Elvis has not quite left the building! He lives on in our loving relationship!
Elvis Presleys songs and music are full of feeling. Every human emotion can be found in his songs, from "Gotta lot of livin' to do" to "Suspicious Minds" Listening to Elvis can certainly pull at your heart strings! http://elvis-presley.ok2b1.com
