I love my husband! We make a great team and I am so very thankful that God blessed me with such a great spouse! I have so much to say and I can't even really think of how to put it into words.
What made me think of writing this post was a conversation that we just had over the phone. He had a presentation meeting with a company in St. Louis today; goes with his side business of online marketing. He called to tell me how the meeting went and I could see the smile on his face and hear the excitement in his voice! I love being the one he calls to share news with! I light up inside when I see that he is calling.
Marriage is something that today's society takes for granted. People don't feel that they should have to work to make a marriage last. It is a hard, full time job. It is also the best job in the world! I love being a wife to my husband. I love that we talk about anything and everything. I love that we make time for each other...even when it would be easier to just continue on with other things. I love that we are able to work on projects together. I love laying in bed with our kids and laughing together! I even love when we disagree, because God uses those times to help us to grow and understand each other better.
I am a blessed wife!

That's the funny thing about marriage. When you are young, you think marriage is that perfect honeymoon phase of a relationship we all see on movies (at least I did).
However, it requires constant work and investment. You get out what you put in. That said, the highs are higher than in the movies (having kids, seeing your wife light up when she gets excited). It's not just a quick empty romantic trip to Paris...
It's the day to day steps that make the difference.
We started out rough (and still have rough spells), but God has put a constant desire to improve our marriage in both of us.
I cannot see how any marriage would last without both sides focusing on it and at least ATTEMPTING to not be selfish ;) I'm not terribly good at that one!
You two are so sweet! I totally agree about team effort. When Jason is gone for a night I feel lost. After 6 years of marriage I still get excited to see him when we are apart. It does my heart good to read about others that believe marriage is a work in progress. There are highs and lows but the highs outweigh any low for me. Funny to see Nick write when you are young. I was thinking the other day I am getting old. We are truly blessed.
