Married life is basically the same as it used to be. The only thing is that I don't go home to mama. I don't see my daddy every day. My sister isn't down the hall. I come home to my husband. I cook dinner every night for him. I clean my house. I'm a caretaker. A homemaker. I go grocery shopping. I have to budget for bills. I take care of my husband. Our relationship isn't different. It's the same. We're still as in love as we were.
I just recently finished "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. I had no idea what this novel was going to be about going into it; all I knew was that our 10th grade English class study it. Right off the bat I noticed that our narrator was not your average Joe. The narrator is death. When I realized this I said to myself, "Oh this is going to be good." The novel is all about the Holocaust and it is shown from a German point of view. Leisel Meminger's mother gives her away to a foster German family. On the trip to this new family, Leisel's brother dies. So right from the start death is there. I'm not going to give you a synopsis of it, because I think you should read it for yourself. Just know that a German family hides a Jew in their basement for a while, and death is around every corner. That last line of the novel really got me though..."I am haunted by humans."
Wait 3 years....things will start to feel different. You'll notice things about your relationship that is totally different from your friends who aren't married.
ReplyDeleteYour love for each other will be deeper and more sacred because you learn how to struggle and triumph together,you learn how to lean on one another.
Just wait...it may feel the same now,but wait a year or two.
