A few weeks ago I was on Twitter and I saw a post that hit me hard. Maybe I took it wrong I don't know. But a lady wrote that she didn't see the point in getting married when all she sees is people getting hurt through divorce. Then to see someone I am close to agree with her made me sad. Yes, there is a high statistic for divorce but sometimes I think people rush into it faster than they should, not always but sometime.
My hubby and I have been married for going on 9 years, and I have loved every minute of it. Has it always been easy no, but we have become stronger through these difficult moments. We have an amazing marriage and yes we have to work at it, it isn't all pie in sky all the time.
I think often times people go into marriage thinking it is going to be a cake walk and when they find out that it isn't they high tail it outta there. A marriage takes work and committment from both sides.
Our pre-marital counselor told us that you have to do whatever it takes to keep the flame alive in your relationship. Whether that is listening to her talk every once in awhile or swinging from a chandelier you do whatever it takes. Because a marriage shouldn't be just a flame it should be a full blown fire that you should keep alive.
I love my husband more now than I did when we got married, and thats because we do whatever it takes to keep our fire alive. But most important is we keep Christ as the center of our marriage. Because without Him we wouldn't have made it this far.
This has been on my heart for awhile and I thought I would share it with you all!!!

Yes, it takes commitment. We've been married over 27 years, and it is always work. People don't realize that they HAVE to keep giving, giving, and giving. It's difficult, but it CAN be done!!! Wives need to respect their husbands, and husbands are to love their wives.
