I was talking to a friend today about marriage. How many people I know that truely stuggle with theirs. Who say that so much "work" is involved with marriage that they did not realize before they got married. I find this interesting, because I don't consider my marriage to be "work". Maybe it's just because I enjoy the "work" so much.Jer is truely my best friend in the whole world. I know that he has seen the worst of me and still loves me. I love being around him and sometimes want to not share him... including with the kids! I know I know... not very "motherly" of me! ... still when I think about how good our relationship is I always wonder in the back of my head... Is something terrible coming our way?? There has to be a reason that we have it so "easy".
And to be honest this scares the CRAP out of me!

I know how you feel. My kids are so easy right now, I keep thinking "GREAT-how are they going to be as teenagers?!?!"
Ha! I know the feeling. I'm always thinking, "life shouldn't be this easy. We're probably just about to get slammed with something," but after 7 years of marriage, it's still wonderful. But maybe having that knowledge of the frailty of relationships at the back of your mind all the time is what makes a marriage great. You're always aware that it's a blessing and are motivated to work on it.
It's nice to hear positive things about marriage when we're constantly bombarded by the media's view of how it should be and is. Marriage is a good thing! =)
