Marriage Is Not Always Easy
Posted by Robyn Courter on
Recently, my husband and I celebrated our Fifth wedding Anniversary. π°π»π€΅π»π
σ
I had someone tell me congrats and how proud she was of us. She said, βI donβt hear of many young couples staying married that long these days.β π
σ
Her words shocked me a little. How sad that we live in a world π that people so easily give up. π
π»ββοΈ We are so quick to just give up when things get hard.
σ
Iβm not saying marriage is easy. Iβm also not saying our marriage is perfect, but we work hard to keep it strong. πͺ
σ
We communicate and tell each other everything so that we donβt have built up anger, resentment and other feelings that can cause problems later on. π«
σ
Itβs not always easy to love my husband, some days he really gets on my nerves and I have to choose to love him more that day. ππ»ββοΈ I also know he puts up with a lot of my crap and loving me isnβt always easy. π¬
σ
Even when things are going great between us we still work hard on our marriage. Currently, we are reading βI said this, you heard thatβ in our small groups at our Church. π It has really helped us with HOW to communicate better with each other based off the color of our personalities.
σ
Five years later, we now have two kids under the age of two. Itβs hard. π³ It would be so easy to just focus on the kids and not work on our relationship.
σ
Things are good, so why make time to work on it when Iβve got two kids who need me, dinner to cook, a house to clean and a business to run? π€·π»ββοΈ
σ
Because our marriage comes first. βπΌ
σ
Show your spouse each day that you love them. β€οΈEven on the days they annoy you. π€―
σ
Donβt stop working on your marriage. π
