As Real as Life Gets

Everywhere you look, there's an article about marriage. Everywhere you look, there's someone posting about how happy they are in their relationship. Everyone questions it. But just how happy are you? Are you happy about  how far you came to appreciate your spouse? About how he/she has never really changed who they are, but made sure they stopped the little things that bug you (that nagging thing they do that drives you nuts!). 

If you aren't really happy but are trying, do you often ask yourself what is there to keep trying for? Or is he/she  really putting in the effort to make things work between the two of you? The truth is faking it is making it. Every time you put a smile on your face even though you want to frown, or be upset all day, your not lying to yourself or others, your working through the kinks and getting through the hard times. So the next time someone says "stop fronting like your marriage is the shit", you tell them your marriage is the shit because you survived the hard times and still have love for your spouse!

Do you agree?
