another thing i should mention is that no matter who you marry, you’re going to have conflicts, disagreements, and problems. put any two people together and give them kids, a huge responsibility of finance, delegation, negotiation, communication, and live together at all times, they’ll disagree at one point. so some people might think they’ll be happier if they get a divorce and marry someone else(and of course there are instances like that if there’s abuse or infidelity or serious issues like that), but in my opinion, you might not have the same exact problems as you did with your previous spouse, but you will probably have new problems and conflicts with the new person.
and as long as my husband and i are trying, we respect each other and love each other, i am a happy wife. 98% of the time. haha. and isn’t 98% of the time happy really good? but really, i love my marriage and i love him so so much. i appreciate even the bad times. because those times make the good times even better. i’ll finish with one quote i learned in my marriage class in college. (yes i took a marriage class, don’t laugh ;p). “if there’s something that bugs you about your spouse, instead of trying to change your spouse, change yourself. for example if your husband smacks while he eats his cereal every morning and you cannot stand it and it bugs you so much, pray to God that you’ll have more patience and love for your husband so that smacking- which is just a small matter-will no longer bug you.” easier said than done but i sure am trying.
