I have been married for 6 years. We have been together for 9 years. Sadly, like many other couples, the “spark” that we once had seems to have left us somewhere along the way. Over the years it seems we have become too comfortable with each other and our lives, if you will. We have taken each other for granted and somewhere along the way we quit working on our marriage and just living it. I can pinpoint a change in our relationship when Mike’s kids moved in with us full-time. I can’t blame him or myself. It was something that we have both contributed to and something that we both would have to fix.
And fix it is what we are going to do. With everything that is going on in our house lately, I am needing to feel the love we once had for each other. I need something “right” in our family right now because so much just seems wrong. We had a long talk last night and talked about what our relationship was like years ago and how much things have changed. Please don’t get me wrong… I am not saying our marriage is horrible now. It isn’t. But, it really did used to be so much more alive, so much more happy.
We both have decided to take a step back and work on making our marriage a priority again. We seem to have stepped aside from that while focusing on raising our family. We realize how important this is for not only us, but our family as a whole. We seemed to have lost ourselves and our love for each other.
I love my husband.
He loves me.
We just need to start acting like it again all the time. Starting today, our marriage will be changing again; this time for the better.
