No one sits you down and tells you "marriage is going to be really hard." Usually you get into it when you're all googoo gaagaa, starry eyed, in love - and then later you learn the reality. No one tells you "it's going to be a lot of work" (or if they do tell you, you're not listening).
What I've learned in our 15 years of wedded bliss (and wedded work) is that yes it is hard, yes it is a lot of work, and yes it is so worth it to hang in there and do the hard work - because what you get from all of that is such a rewarding, deep, meaningful union that wouldn't be the same if you hadn't gone through all the trials and tribulations to get there.
Wow. So there you have it, if you didn't already know this, now you do.
I have pushed my husband beyond the limits and together we have bent, molded, stretched, transformed, and roared down the highway of life. I am so in love with my husband because of this and feel incredibly fortunate to have such a precious thing to be a part of. A smile comes across my face and I can feel the sparkle behind my eyes just thinking about it now.
I wish the same for you.

It's wonderful when you find your solemate. You have a couple of years on us, but I now we'll still be just as happy.
Thanks - this is a good reminder at a time when I really need it.
That's so cute :)
I've been having "Love Week" over at my blog! We've only been married for a year and some months..loL!
Thanks for the inspiration. My DH and I are coming up on our 1st wedding anniversary (March 29th) and so far we've been doing pretty good. I always remind myself to never take him for granted and not to get "too comfortable" in the way we are. With baby on the way I have no idea how much things are going to change, just that they are . . . BIG time!!
