I married late in life at 37 yrs old and it has been a struggle in so many ways. But after three and half years, I'm learning slowing to adjust - most of all my attitude! Thank you for being YOU! and this blog. God Bless you!! So glad I found your blogsite to help inspire me and my marriage.

But I did read it and truly feel enlightened. This is absolutely an eye-opener! Why should I be content with the status quo? I owe it to my husband, to our relationship, and to God to continue to show and develop more and more love each day. Someone said "love is a verb not an emotion" (I love that!) and "marriage is not about you" (I love that too!!). I heard on a radio talk show a few months ago that marriage should be such that the husband and wife, their children, and even those who barely know the couple are drawn closer to God. That is certainly a taller order than just "for better or worse, richer or poorer, etc."! This is my first time navigating this blog. I LOVE it and feel so blessed to have found you Sisters in Christ! Warm hugs to all of you!

Couldn’t the wife have playfully said something humorous that met both their goals like, “if you give me ten minutes now, I’ll give you my very special attention very soon”

That’s more of a win/win

One of the best parts of the 31DBBB is meeting new bloggers.
Thanks!

Love=Fun

It can be VERY trying at times.<br/><br/>But on a more positive note: at least the husband is still attracted to his wife. Right? Or he wouldn't be going out of his way to grope her . . . ;) Just a twist on the hubby/wife encounter. I’m loving this series of posts about marriage!

Wonderful post and sad to say you have described my household on more than one occasion. This is such a good reminder!

It is work to keep a good marriage going. I have been blessed with 16 years of happy marriage to a wonderful godly man, and still have so much that I need to work on.

Thank you Sarah Mae!
