It's just amazing how fast life is going by. I could remember how I imaged how marrying my high school sweetheart would be. The turn out is so different than I dreamed, both good and bad. As I remember many of the letters I wrote to my sweetheart while he was away in the military, I still would love to have that relationship with him, that we were the most important thing that mattered to each other(GOD FIRST). Instead of living vicariously through movies, books, and other relationships, I want my own dream marriage.
Now I do realize in order for this to happen, much communication, prayer and trust is required from both of us. I must admit, for the begining of our marriage, I was more on the self track. I have learned over the years that in order for things to change I have to change. If I want more romance, I have to be romantic, if I want more hug and kisses, I have to give more hugs and kisses. I can't change my groom, but I can pray for him. I'm planning our next over night date night, where there will be no distractions, and we can share our current dreams and goals. Can't wait to share with you our progress...
Great Post! It encourages wives to know that it is ok to take the first step; the husband doesn't always have to be the first to take a step towards making changes. When you want something bad enough, you must be willing to give what you want.
