Marriage presents its own set of challenges. It’s an enduring commitment where you declare your intention to share a lifetime with someone, and the thought of separation is never part of the equation. Yet, reality can sometimes play out differently.
Why is This the Case?
Because marriage is truly demanding. Each day, you choose to invest in your relationship, striving to harmonize with your partner. You share in each other’s triumphs and provide support during tough times.
When children enter the picture, they bring immense joy and love that you may have never encountered before. However, this also introduces a new level of stress and exhaustion, as you navigate the complexities of parenting.
There will be moments when you might question your path together, wondering if it would be simpler to walk away. It’s easy to become overwhelmed, focusing on the negatives as stressors compile, threatening the foundation of your relationship.
Both marriage and parenting are difficult; balancing the two can feel insurmountable at times. In the whirlwind of family life, it’s all too common to lose sight of your own identity, drifting away from the priorities that should take precedence.
I’ve realized that each day in marriage is about reaffirming your commitment — a continuous “yes.” Every day, you’re making a conscious choice to stand by one another, to function as a team, and to support each other through life’s ups and downs.
You may not always agree or even like each other on some days, but the love you share is unwavering. Every day, you’re choosing to continue nurturing your bond, a connection that requires ongoing attention, care, and perhaps a little prayer.
Not long ago, I faced a tough financial situation that led to losing part of my engagement ring. However, today my partner surprised me with two beautiful new rings, which we plan to have blessed. I fervently hope to keep them safe, as a symbol of our commitment.
Today, I said “yes” once more, and I pray I can say it every day for the rest of my life.
