Love and Marriage

It seems that we live very much in a NOW society.  We are bombarded day in day out with the idea that â??you can have it allâ??!  We all want more, more time off, more holidays, more money, and more leisure time.  No one seems to want to put in more work!  Does this attitude sometimes seep its way into our marriages?

I have been married for 18 months now, and am learning more about my husband every day!  I didnâ??t think that would continue after the initial few months of living together - but it has!    That means work for me!  I have to adjust my thinking and perception of my husbands needs constantly as he is still emerging as a person to me, even after 18 wonderful months of marriage. 

Its worth the work tho!  If you know your partners is 100% committed to your happiness, its easy to be 100% committed to his!  Maybe we just have to enter into a private pact with ourselves to give a little more, as often little acts of kindness can be overlooked and before you know it, you have a row on your hands!

I have found in my own marriage that I have come to love my husband more and more because of the commitment I see he has towards me, and in turn the commitment I have towards him. I am having the time of my life slowly getting to know my husband more and more!  I wish sometimes I could encourage people who are struggling in their marriages to take a step back and realistically evaluate what they want from life.  We all want to be happy life, and that often starts in the home!
