Marriage for real.

It should never be hard to love your spouse, if it is, I think there is a major problem. It isn't always easy to like your spouse... sometimes they annoy you. Sometimes you may clash with your spouse, maybe you have different political stances, or maybe he doesn't like your favorite restaurant. It should always be easy to laugh with your spouse, share secrets, hopes and dreams with them. It should always be easy to talk to them, to confront them when something is bothering you, or support them when they need it. It shouldn't be hard to kiss them, or hug them, or tell them you love them. It should be easy to congratulate them when they've done something worth-while... or maybe even just for being them. It should be easy to put them before yourself. But sometimes It's hard, and when its hard, it can be easy to forget all the niceties, and focus on the bad... you must never do that in marriage, because marriage, is worth it.
