While perusing my blogs this morning I came across this little nugget of truth:
"What if marriage is not so much about finding the right person as much as it is about becoming the right person? When we’re looking for the right person, then the onus for the relationship working is entirely on them. We’re passive, just waiting to be made happy. But if we realize that relationships are dynamic, that people change with time, and that compromise is necessary, then we also realize that relationships are about us learning to love and sacrifice far more than they are about the other person completing us. It’s our attitude that matters." (From the To Love, Honor and Vacuum blog)
I have found this to be true with us. The more we sacrifice and work to be a good spouse to each other, the happier we are together. Marriage requires selflessness and sanctification to work, but when it does, it is beautiful.
Happy Friday!
