Marriage vs. Love

It's been five years since my husband and I vowed to God to be each other's life partner; and in these five years, I have been every emotion under the moon and sun. From being grateful for his thoughtful gifts and loving prayers to being frustrated with our conflicting viewpoints and the adjusting of merging our two fully grown adult lives. 

All in all, OUR five years has taught us lessons only we could learn from each other. 

Through my husband, God has taught me intimately about marriage vs love. Growing into a wife has been difficult for a “free spirit” like me. 

These years have broken me all the way down (ugly cry and all). I've been fighting my happily ever after for a long time and I've honestly felt like I've been fighting God to understand it all. 

I've built walls of negativity, distance, and pain and it has taken more than half my life to break them down. I've been forced to think differently, love deeper and surrender. Sometimes, it takes a special person in your life for God to speak through, so you can hear and receive how to truly heal, grow and change. 

Marriage has helped me see what’s really important. It’s been my masterclass and full-length mirror. It’s given me the desire to want to be better, build goodness and fulfill purpose.

With all the problems I have experienced and caused, in my life (and the life of others), I NEVER thought I would be where I am today, married, with a better understanding of true commitment through trials. 

My husband is my best and I thank God that he loved me enough to send him my way; to be my friend and teacher. Being his wife is such a responsibility that I don’t always live up to, but what a blessing that God saw fit for me to learn through it to come out better on the other side.
