have a successful marriage

All heavy laden acquainted with sorrow
May Christ in our marrow, carry us home
From alabaster come blessings of laughter
A fragrance of passion and joy from the truth

Grant the unbroken tears ever flowing
From hearts of contrition only for You
May sin never hold true that love never broke through
For God’s mercy holds us and we are His own

This road that we travel, may it be the straight and narrow
God give us peace and grace from You, all the day
Shelter with fire, our voices we raise still higher
God give us peace and grace from You, all the day through

It is hard to keep it up. I need to schedule time with him. Otherwise our relationship ends up on a back burner every time. Need to make it a routine.

Every day I make an effort to do something nice for my husband. Yesterday I wrote him a poem! I am really trying to reconnect and not take him for granted. I am putting him at top priority in my life instead of a back burner. The kids are 8 and 2 and still need me, but they need a family with a strong marriage more than anything else. I am working on my relationship daily.

we start couples counseling. I’m kinda looking forward to it, but then again I’m not. It’ll be good for us I know, but I’m kinda scared of what’s gonna get pulled out of the woodwork. Guess we’ll have to wait and see. Hmm…

not just be married but happily married really for better or worse

I think that my wife and I do an excellent job at this. There are a few minor problems that we encounter, but nothing that we can’t handle. She’s the best wife ever. I just want to be the best husband. I try really hard. I know that sometimes I can be hard to deal with, especially when I want something my way. But we’ve been working on that and we have learned how to compromise on things surprisingly well. I’m in the Navy and spent most of our first year of marriage over 1000 miles away from her. I would rather have stayed with her, but as far as silver linings go I think we got the best one. Communication. I can talk to her about anything, and I hope she feels the same way too. I know it’s hard to cope with me being away so much. I know it hurts her really bad. It hurts me too. I think the hardest thing to do is to tell someone you love more than life itself that you are leaving and you don’t know when you will be back. It takes strong will and a lot of love to have faith in that person that they will still be there waiting for you when the ship pulls in. We are both very devoted to each other. I love her with all of my heart. I think our marriage is very successful right now, but I want to keep it that way. I’ll never leave her and there is no problem that I wouldn’t be willing to work out. I hope she feels the same way.

i want to have a good marriage

I got married in February and then he left for basic training for the army. I was 7 months pregnant. Since then he quit basic 3 weeks before he graduated and I had our baby girl. The problem is he won’t listen to me. He refuses to compromise with me about anything so we fight so much I love him and would never leave I just want to be happy in this marriage…

Growing up I remember dad and om getting mad but there was a shift where dad gt mad and mom laughed….more dad gt mad more mom laughed…Besides the fact that they are beyond comprehension, I was so curious.

Now my hubby n me are few days away from our 3rd anniversary and I can say I laugh when I think about the time we spent together.

I feel God like to fatally attract two different people till they want to get married at any cost and then they get to work :)

We are the classic tarty rhetoric kinds but post an argument after the fumes have gone out and when I can feel myself again I go up and ask/demand if there is something he sud say to me. Hint: Im sorry and I love u.

So we’re kinda okay….

I do the dishes, and cook, and clean, and do the laundry, I pay the bills, take care of the dog, and take care of my husband. He tells me I’m an amazing wife. He’s definitely learning to be an amazing husband. He’s never been one before so for a newbie he’s outstanding. :-) I love him so much.
