Do you love your marriage?
When you read this, you might think-
“Yes, of course,” or
“Mmmm, maybe… not so much… I don’t know.”
Either way that is OK, and please know you are not alone.
If you are in the latter group, I want you to really hear this:
It is OK,
you are not alone,
AND you can change your marriage.
Yes, you- just you.
If your spouse is on board- great.
If your spouse is not on board- also great.
You don’t need the other person to be involved in changing your marriage (or any relationship).
You can do it alone.
They don’t even need to know it’s happening.
(Sidebar- I do recommend open communication as much as possible, especially in a marriage. My point here is: you alone CAN have a hugely positive impact on your relationship.)
OK, so back to the original question:
What would it be like to LOVE your marriage?
To feel in love like you first did?
To enjoy each other’s company like you used to.
To want to snuggle. To want to be near each other.
To talk about more than just logistics, money, and child-care.
To remember what it was that made you fall in love with this person sitting across from you (maybe, they’re in the other room?) in the first place.
Take a second.
Breathe into that.
Really, what would it be like?
It IS possible.
It’s NOT too late.
