Marriage is a life-long mission. It is a God-given, life-giving mission.  When we look at our marriage through that lens, it becomes much different than what the world wants you to believe it is.  Marriage isn’t about fulfilling our needs (although our needs are fulfilled when we’re living an authentic friendship with each other).  It is about choosing to love. Choosing to see his perspective over mine, making the choice to forgive him even when I don’t want to. Putting our husband first before children, family, friends, and activities. Some days, that’s easy. But other days it is an active choice we must make – choosing to let go of our wants, our will, our desires and seeking out what would make our spouse happy – his thoughts and wishes.
