Yes, MOST of the time, it only takes one person to change the way they speak to their spouse or a change in their actions - then the other spouse will usually come around and be more respectful. A marriage truly wins when someone is willing to make a sacrifice. You are right, marriage is NOT a fairytale the way Hollywood has portrayed it to be. It takes a LOT of hard work, patience, self-sacrifice, etc to grow in marriage. But it is soooo worth it! Thanks for stopping by and I am headed over to check your post/blog out now!

I've only been married for 2 years but I realize the amount of work it takes to make things work. You're right that if even ONE person tries harder in the relationship, both people will benefit and change. Marriage is not the fairytale that movies and books make it out to be and many people go into marriage with a skewed perception of what to expect. Your post is very similar to one that I wrote on my own blog "Why You Shouldn't Plan on Getting Married". You should check it out at www.DerrellJamison.com when you get the chance. <br /><br />Great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161313588618403134.post-80836502562435447182014-02-05T08:52:34.938-05:002014-02-05T08:52:34.938-05:00Hi Karen!

I know, myself, when I focus on being nicer it changes the atmosphere of everything in the household. Of course, some days are harder than others but that is okay - we just have to learn to work harder on those days. And yes kids and occupations do get in the way. I have read so many times about scheduling a date night and I want to do that more in my own marriage - it is hard though.

I am going to put in an effort to try to think that I am not always right and humble myself by being more attentive and kinder to my husband on a more constant basis. You are right about one couple get married they stop putting in any effort in the marriage. They let kids and jobs get in the way. I am so glad I came across this today and I will be looking forward to more posts. I am going to go and follow you everywhere so I don't miss any articles. <br /><br />KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
