You and Your Spouse - Day Three

Kim's doing a series on "you and your significant other".  On Monday the topic was how how did you and your significant other meet? and how did you know he was the one?  Wednesday's topic was how did your significant other propose? and did you pick out your ring?

Today the topic is:

Day 3
Is marriage all that you thought it was going to be and how long have you been married?

What do you see for your future as a couple?? 

We'll be married 23 years this December.  

Is our marriage all that I thought it would be?  Yes.  No.  Seriously.  Our marriage has been all I had hoped ... and more.  He has been my Prince.

And yet there are times when our marriage hasn't been quite all I'd hoped for.  When my Prince has been a frog.

Sometimes, yes, he has disappointed me ... and sometimes I have expected too much. We've learned (yes, sometimes the hard way) that marriage isn't a fairy tale, where magically we live "happily ever after".  A good marriage is a journey, not a destination.  And it's hard work ... but I'm here to tell you that the rewards are so worth it.  ;-) 

Our future?  We'll continue to work together on this journey.  And we'll also love on our littles, travel, and enjoy this life we have together.
