"Oh your still in the honeymoon stage, just wait" These words have been haunting me for that past week. Every week since our wedding people have asked us, "How is married life?" and every week our answer has been the same. Its great! And every week the response we receive is this, " Oh, you are still in the honeymoon stage. Just give it a few years." This never bothered me at first but recently a few of our married friends have struggled with their marriages and many of them are ending in divorce. For those of you who still don't know why this all has bothered me so much I will tell you. Not only did my parent's marriage end in divorce but 90% of the marriages in my family have all ended the same way. With the attack that all marriages are going through right now I started to become afraid. What if this is the way my marriage ends up? I then started to feel guilty for not being miserable in my marriage and then it hit me. Couples always tell us just wait, your happy now but just wait. Well, what are we waiting for? It that really God's will for us. To get married and then just sit and wait for it to get bad. We do argue and fight but this I believe is healthy for a marriage if done correctly. I know that God does not want me to be miserable in my marriage. He wants me to live harmoniously with my husband and as we continue to on our journey we would trust in Him more and we would learn to work as one. So for all of you who are thinking just wait well, I am waiting. I am waiting for this journey to just get better! We will go through trials and we aren't perfect my I am taking a stand and proclaiming that I am choosing to live our my marriage the way that God intended it. I know it's not going to be easy but I know that He is a great God and He is in control. As long as we keep our eyes on Him, He will not fail us.
