My Marriage Isn't Perfect...Yet It Is
Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night, with your mind racing? That was me at 3:30 AM. As I laid there in bed, I pondered on my life as a wife.
I am far from a perfect wife. I'm sure my husband agrees. Our marriage is far from perfect. We argue. Heck, we have mastered the art of arguing. At times, I say things that I don't mean, and mean things I don't say. Coming from two different walks of life, we have differences. My husband does things differently than the way I do. For example, the dishes, laundry, making the bed...only to name a few. He coming from a traditional home and raised in the South, sees things in a whole different light than the way I, the girl from the Big City, does.
But our marriage is also perfect. Perfect in sense that we both strive and try to do what's best for our family. We want only the best for our daughters. We spend time together. Sometimes with our children, and sometimes without. We've shared some great times, and a lot of laughs, and have been there for each other when things have gotten rough. He protect me, and I protect him. Yes, we do argue. Who doesn't? Like I said, we come from 2 different walks of life. But that's what makes us who we are. I am happy. He's happy. We are happy...together.
We are crazy in love. A love genuine love and respect for one another. I think that's what holds this family together. Knowing that, no matter what, I have him, and he has me.
Marriage is hard work. Harder than I thought. But you know what? What in life isn't?
So there you go. My marriage isn't perfect, but then again, it is.

Arguing is normal. In a functional marriage- fights are normal. In a dysfunctional marriage, fights are one way- the attacker versus the one in a defensive position. You fight even when things are happy and good. There is a never a break from the torture of being told that you are no good.
So if you went to a therapist they would congratulate you for having a healthy happy marriage. You and Adam have been through a lot of hard times, but you are doing so well.
Everyone goes through tough times and have dissagreements but it's how you deal with those things.
I truely believe that if you treat your spouse has the most important person in your life, even more important than your children, that you will be a better husband/wife and parents.
I love JJ loves me more than Sariah or anyother family member and I love him more than anyother family member. Of course there are times when I have to remind myself that!
