Difficult Path

Man. I wish someone would have warned me about the path being so difficult.....Wait. I was warned. Almost everyone will tell you that once you get past that initial "lovey dovey" or "Honeymoon" stage, the real work kicks in. I am so glad that the Lord is working in the lives of both my wife and I. He keeps us going because yes it is a constant battle. Dealing with the kids, dealing with work, dealing with money, it all takes a toll and can be issues in a relationship. I have experience these things myself. It is why communication is sooooo important in a marriage. I myself have never been much of a talker, but God has worked a great deal within me. My wife and I used to have such issues with talking to each other. I wouldn't let her in on all of the happenings in my life or how I felt about situations. I would keep it all inward. God opened my eyes to the need of my wife. We still have struggles in life but now we confront them together. I have her back and she has mine. I just urge everyone to communicate. Not only with you spouse, but with the Lord.
