Almost 2 years in..

Wow, what can I really say about marriage. I'm sure people that have been married much longer than me will say that I have learned much. I beg to differ. Although it is different than just dating, even different than just living together, Even different with children. There are plenty of things to be grateful for. For me I think it's knowing that every day is work, and even when you don't like the person at moments you have a greater goal.

I believe when it comes to household tasks and dealing with children it should be a team effort. Again most days aren't perfect but you try your best.

Intimacy is another area that I feel is really important to maintain. In my own relationship I realize I instigate the romantic side much more often. I do wish it wasn't always this way, that we are still working at it.

Physical insecurities I have relate to having two children and two years and getting back as close as possible the body I had when my husband and I first started dating. I know most people will say this is unrealistic,however I have had lots of body issues and wait struggles throughout my life. Knowing how far I came, I just know that I can get there again. It will take some time and effort but I am not opposed to working for it. My motivations are my children, my husband, not to mention my 40th birthday in 2017.
