One thing we talked about before we ever had children, and one thing we constantly remind each other of, is that we will never, ever put our children through the hell he endured. Marriage is so hard, and some days it's really easy to want to throw in the towel, but most of what we argue and fuss about can be solved through communicating and setting aside one-on-one time with one another. It's very hard to do with children...but it's absolutely necessary.

It takes two people ...Marriage is absolutely work. It takes two people recognizing that just because they got into an argument it doesn't me they just call it quits. You work thought it, you communicate, and you move on. This is a repeated cycle that will last as long as the marriage itself. There have been tough weeks and months even when it seemed like more work than one should need to. That's when we sit down and really talk. Get on the same page and go from there. I think kids, especially little one, test a marriage. The stress is high and keeping each other a priority can be difficult. Hubby and I do what we call a "reset." Every night we pick up the toys in the living room and put them away, do the dishes, and talk about anything we need to about the baby or ttc. When we finish that's it no more talk of kids for at least an hour if not more. It helps us. We don't always succeed but it does help.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06633862152372392695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787213069445299547.post-13143475689160129622014-08-22T15:00:42.883-04:002014-08-22T15:00:42.883-04:00Marriage is work plain and simple.

Keeping a marriage together is a two person job.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092211937888152360noreply@blogger.com
