On our roadtrip to Arizona this past weekend, Anja asked me if I really loved her dad when I was first dating him. This question has me thinking, and I feel like there is something I need my kids to understand about my marriage … it wasn’t a mistake.
Marriage is beautiful. It is so fun, too! Mine to their dad was both of these things. We had a lot of great times together were we grew together. We did everything together. Those times of building a relationship, making choices together, spending time together, making sacrifices together and building a family together are wonderful. I DID NOT make a mistake by getting married. I want my kids to understand that.
Don’t fear marriage. Jump in with both feet. Put your whole heart and commitment into it. Marry your best friend and be willing to keep forgiving and keep trying no matter what. There will be difficult times in it too, but the rewards will far outweigh the tough times. Marriage is not a mistake.
That’s what I want my kids to know.
Forever grateful for my experiences in life and love.
