Today is my mom and dads 53rd wedding anniversary!!!
I have always admired and couple that can stay together and make it work. I always wonder how some marriages are easier than others and wonder why some have to struggle. My mom and dads has always seemed easy but there have been struggles. My mom’s m;om and dad stayed married until the day the both passed and their relationshitp seems easy as well. Other relationships in my family seemed to have struggled but yet stayed together. I always admire the ones that stay together no matter what but yet I wonder why and how they made it work.
Do any of you have any stories on how and why marriages in your families have made it work because I would love to hear the stories!
I have so many stories I could share of our ups and downs. Our good and bad. How only just a year ago this month, that my world was almost shattered.
I am happy to say, and for as awful, ugly, and how devastating it got, somehow, just somehow, we rose to the top.
We survived. Sometimes I still do not even know how or why. And I KNOW many judged me for my decision to give it a go. How do you just turn your back on 28 years?
Many wanted me to. However, ultimately it was my choice. No one knows my husband better than I and I’m proud to still be by his side.
Marriage isn’t always easy. It isn’t all wine and roses and blissfully running through a twinkling field of wildflowers.
Marriage is hard work. It is good times and bad times. Sometimes, bad times get really ugly, but ultimately each couple has to know their boundaries. They must know themselves, as well as their partners.
Give and take. Push and pull. Love and anger. It’s up to us to know and understand our breaking points. To know when enough is enough. It is up to us to determine if it’s worth the fight when things get ugly.
Only each person will know, honor, and respect those paths they choose. Together or separate
So very true!

Some knowy story. Some do not, but I am thankful so much for where my life, mind, body, and soul are today. Right where they should be next to my partner of now 29 years.
