Beautiful, lovely, amazing work...Marriage is work. Beautiful, lovely, amazing work, but work none the less.<br /><br />This year has been the most difficult year of our marriage. This year my hubby graduated from MBA school, he got major back surgery, I had brain surgery, and we moved. Just to mention a few.<br /><br />We are at a point in our marriage where we don't fight often, but this year we went through a couple months of fighting constantly due to the stress of our situation.<br /><br />That is when I decided I needed to do better. I prayed and worked on myself being a better person and wife.<br /> <br />Here are some of the things that I did that made us stronger despite the turmoil.<br /><br />-Txt him during the day just to let him know I love him.<br />-Expressed how much I appreciate how hard he works at his job.<br />-Thanked him for taking care of our little family.<br />-Every night when he gets home I make sure to drop what I am doing and give him a big hug and loving kiss. When I do that all the stress of the day just falls out.<br />-I am my husband's "girlfriend" Flirt, look nice, go on dates etc...you know the kind of things you did when you were dating. Cherish each other.<br /><br />I could go on and on. The point is I make an effort and so does he. You are such a beautiful couple and I think every married couple understands what you are going through, because everyone does.<br /><br />Listen to the song by Jason Mraz called I Won't Give Up.<br /><br />Mushy, Mushy, I know, but love and marriage is worth the effort and saving.<br /><br />Happy Friday Friend!!<br />Heather<br />@ www.made-famous-by.comHeather McMullinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367106439759622409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126431142760637074.post-68146628487782192192012-03-22T21:47:09.873-04:002012-03-22T21:47:09.873-04:00It's been 5 months for me/us and it was the 3r...It's been 5 months for me/us and it was the 3rd time. Same person. This last time was the worse by far. How many times can someone break up with the same person only to go back at the first chance they get? How many times can they lie and how many times can you be fooled before it is enough? There are those who think I'm a fool for staying and holding on. Thank you for sharing the lyrics. It applies so well. And I admire your courage for sharing this with everyone. I did not have the courage. Still don't. Maybe one day. Just keep hanging on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126431142760637074.post-76405827479387123832012-03-21T23:34:41.889-04:002012-03-21T23:34:41.889-04:00OH HEAVENS! by "right quick" I mean a ki...OH HEAVENS! by "right quick" I mean a kiss and an I REALLY LOVE YOU...

Some days I'm not sure how many threads are left on the rope, it feels like it will snap and everything will fall apart. Most days I don't know which way is up. I understand the best/worst & happiest/saddest sentiments. I'm glad to see your marriage holding on, on the recovering side of things.<br /><br />Also, six months in a high school relationship seemed like a huge milestone at the time, now six months flashes by...didn't I just buy my kids new clothes for changing weather?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126431142760637074.post-11704947798167085982012-03-19T22:18:08.509-04:002012-03-19T22:18:08.509-04:00Wahoo!
