Is your marriage stong enough?

I have been successfully married for almost 14 years! I can say successful now because as a couple we have survived a once turbulent storm.

Right around the time of our 1st anniversary, I wasn't so sure we were going to make it. We were newly married, new jobs, and had moved 3 hours away from all our family and friends. We had no one to depend on but each other. It was probably one of the toughest times of my life. So when I saw this article on MSN, I knew I had to blog about it.

The author provides some really great points and sspects to look at if your marriage is stuggeling. As a woman, I know I once put a lot of extra pressure on my husband to live up to standards I don't know that even God could live up to. But someone had said something to me, basically saying that I'm not perfect either. I had to take a hard look at myself and let my husband off the hook. I knew he was the one for me and it was up to me to save my marriage. He was just a poor guy wondering what the hell he had got himself into.

Today I can honestly say that we have a wonderful, loving, and thriving marriage. I'm really proud of our marriage. I know that we have a marriage that others look up to. I love my husband more than anything and I'm so greatful he stuck around and put up with my nonsense.

This article is really worth the few minutes it takes to read it. Even though I have been married for a while, it never hurts to make sure we're still on the right path.
