  1. I couldn’t agree more. My husband and I just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and I can tell you from my heart that those years did take hard work, but then some years it was so easy. Having kids is a wonderful experience, bringing them up even more so, but in the end, they will grow up and move away, so you better make sure that the man you fell in love with is the person that you still want by your side when that happens. I can tell you that my heart still skips a beat every day when I see his face for the first time (corny as that sounds), that we touch and hug and make sure that we are each other’s priority. My kids are adults now, though still living at home, they have their lives and we try not to interfere too much, we trust that the lessons we taught them through the years and by example, will stand them in good stead.
    They are on their own now, although of course, we will always be there if they need help or advice or a shoulder to cry on, but for the most part, we concentrate on what keeps us together and what we want from life now. Don’t let your marriage become a state of convenience, it needs to be your priority every day. Good luck with your goals and I wish you the same happiness that I have known all these years.

  2. After being married for 16 years our marriage has had its far share of ups and downs. I think for me you nailed one of the main reasons~I get to busy chasing things and not enough time loving my husband. That is when we usually start having issues. Our goal is a weekly date night, which is so much easier now that our kiddos are older and an extended weekend get away for just the 2 of us. Thanks so much for sharing!
