Marriage is a work in process. Even after being married for 17 years I'm still learning and growing. Yes, some things come easier but it is not easy. It is giving 100% of yourself to another person without expecting anything in return. Of course if your both doing that then your going to have a wonderful relationship.
I've been reading Lists To Love By for Busy Wives as my February Devotional. This is an easy read that packs a heartfelt punch. There are many reminders for me - an old married lady- as well as some new ideas. I'm going to give my husband Lists To Love By for Busy Husbands as part of his Valentine's Day gift. I think this is a wonderful set to help us renew our hearts and love for each other this romantic season.
