Marriage

This week I am reminded about the fact that if we do not continue to grow individually and as a couple, marriage is a lot harder than it needs to be. I'm not using this post as a rant (that's what this blog is for! - mostly kidding..), it's just something I've been thinking about today. Here I was, getting comfortable with my new work arrangement, thinking everything is just hunky-dory. I think I've been pretty selfish the last few weeks, even though I was in denial because I convinced myself that I got laid-off from my job, so I should pity myself. You'd think I would have learned by now that when I get too comfortable, that's when things get shaken up in my life. Hopefully I'll learn soon, right? I love my husband so much and that love is worth every hard time we've had in the last five years. I'm not giving up, so I guess you could say this is my "bugger-off" to Satan to leave us alone.
