Turning together

Your husband is your greatest ally in life, so wouldn't you think that you should band together when faced with trials? That makes sense, yet for me it seems to be the exact opposite of what I do in hard times. Let me know if I am the only one, but I feel that many times in my life my husbands ticks and odd things that sometimes bother me get even more bothersome when things aren't going great. I then am angry at him for things that I have known about or have gotten over long ago.

Something I have learned in my married life is that is so much easier to be on each others team when it's hard if we are constantly working together and turning to one another the rest of the time. This doesn't always have to be a grand thing. This could simply be doing the dishes together when the kids go to bed or cleaning out the car together on a Saturday afternoon. My husband and I like to eat together. We love to try new foods and sit down and just talk with each other. We also love to drive places together, this gives us a quiet environment where we can just be together.

The past month has been very stressful for my family. We have moved, had a couple of major illnesses pop up, and so on. There where times where my husband and I both had our moments of frustration or anger, but because we are working together and turning to each other through trials, we got through them without any major problems. There is a lot still ahead of my family that we will need to push through, but by keeping up on our togetherness my husband and I can work through anything.

“So it's not gonna be easy. It's going to be really hard; we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me... everyday.”
