We live in a disposable society, with a here today gone tomorrow mentality. Too often, we are seeking something newer, better, and more exciting. We are also becoming alarmingly accustomed to instant gratification. Fast food or t.v. dinners in place of a home cooked meal. An upgrade for your new iphone. Diet ads that declare you can lose 30 lbs in a month. Are you following me yet? So where does this lead us? Sadly, many people are seeking to "upgrade" their spouse... I'm tired of seeing people just give up on their relationships. Someone else may look more exciting now, but trust me honey, when the shine wears off you'll have the same issues w/ your new mate.
**** DISCLAIMER**** I am NOT saying there aren't legitimate reasons for separation or divorce. Especially in cases of abuse. Who am I to talk? No one really. I'm not rich or famous. Nor do I have a counseling degree. That said, I hope to create a community of people who are willing to lift one another up. Instead of giving worldly answers like "Just walk out, you deserve better!" I hope we can encourage one another by listening, caring, and praying for one anothers' marriages.
The idea for this blog came from a friend who said I should write about something I'm passionate about. She meant interior decorating, scrapbooking, or baking I'm sure. But the more that I thought about it... I love my husband. And I want others to find happiness in their relationships.
I've always loved the country song "When I said I do" I meant that I will be till the end of all time, be faithful and true, devoted to you, that's what I had in mind, when I said I do. Hence the blog title ;)
