First Years, Worst Years

So I have been with my husband for nine years and marries for five anx i have been doing a lot of thinking. The early years was full of arguments and fights.  A lot of conflict and misunderstanding. There were times i thought "how do people grow old in this" it has taken us years of prayers and commitment to get to where we are.  People say they marry for love but i can tell you that true love doesn't come until after you have passed through certain trials and see different sides of your partner to say you truly love them. I still say strongly that marriage cannot work without God.

It has taken the Holy Spirit to help me understand that we are on the same side.  The enemy is the devil.  Once i passed through a phase that God helped me overcome fear that I realised that the devil uses fear to steal our joy.  Fear of how your partner would react,  what they would say and others.  For me the Holy Spirit renewed my mind and I began to think well he wouldn't kill me so what the hell.  With this trust started to grow and our reactions to situations started to change. I have seen a man show me love when i was pregnant,  supported me through my studies, be a father, husband and head of my home. Now i can boldly say I'm madly in love with my husband.  When we are apart thoughts of him makes me smile.

As my kids ard growing, I am happy that they have a man like him in their lives and we have all grown together in this wonderful school of life. I watch my son look after his sisters and females around him.  It could only be God. Pray for the guidance of God in your life.
