I would like to think of life as a mini fairytale, with all it's ups and downs, but always followed by a happy ending. I suppose that's why I read so many fiction novels...I get swept away by the fantasy of it all. Unfortunately, life isn't fantasy...it's reality. My expectations for a perfect marriage, an always romantic husband, and a problem free life simply aren't reality. Sometimes, though...it's hard to admit that.
However, I want to make a goal to view reality in a positive light. I know my d.h. and I will have arguments, as well as differing opinions and expections, but in the end, I know we will have learned something from it all. I know life will always present it's little disappointments...but in the end....God has a plan and a purpose for me...through the good times and the bad. He will always be there for me, to give me strength and push me forward.
"But he said to me,
'My grace is sufficient for you,
for my power is made perfect in weakness.'
Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses,
so that Christ's power may rest on me.
That is why, for Christ's sake,
I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships,
in persecutions, in difficulties.
For when I am weak, then I am strong."
2 Corinthians 12:9&10

great realization girl...and honestly, it's ONE of those critical realizations that make a marriage stronger. Just don't compromise yourself too much...it's all about the give and take on both sides. Hope everything pans out for ya.
it took me awhile to realize that a fairy tale marriage wasn't realistic. When I look and see more good days than bad days I feel encouraged.
