I have been married for nearly 10 years, and throughout our marriage we have experienced our fair share of highs and lows. We've gone through deployments, we've gone through moves, we've been through it all. And let me tell you from experience, marriage just isn't always that easy dream that we imagine on our wedding days. Life is going to throw us obstacles that you have to work through together as a couple. Over time those little imperfections that you once found cute and endearing may start to wear on your nerves. Kids enter the picture, relationships change. But that doesn't mean that your marriage has to become any less happy than it was the day you said 'I do'. It simply means that you have to work a little harder. You have to remember that your husband isn't going to be perfect, things aren't always going to be amazing and easy and that marriage is worth holding onto. You have to understand what the reality of marriage is and let go of illusions of perfections.

I know some people who start liking someone, and say they will "change him." As soon as I hear that, I'm thinking oh oh. This sounds like a good book, it does seem more often the woman is the one to try to change the man rather than the other way around!
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds amazing! I think we live in such a world of perfection that as soon as something in our marriages/relationships wane we want to give up or get so frustrated that we forget what its all about in the first place!! Can't wait to read this!!
