Marital Bliss

LOVE … What is it? It’s a word that is thrown around carelessly, we have soo many ways and people telling us what love is. We get it from poems, movies, songs, romantic novels, I mean the list goes on. But really what is love? Think about what does it mean to you? To me love is strong , unconditional, sacrificial, selfless, and in my world everlasting. But true love is patience, it is kind, it never falis,  it is true, its the one thing that will always change you.


I read a narrative story, “What We talk about When We talk about love” it’s a story about 4 characters who have there own thoughts, views, and experiences on what love is. From physical abuse being love, to Marital Bliss..” still in the Honeymoon stage” all over a bottle of gin.

So when the honey moon is over – these test comes and u have no choice but to get real. The tests come in all forms. Getting real requires self searching and opening up like u never have before- but un like the characters they drink and put on a front about their year and half marriage.

We spend alot of time in fairyland and it starts at an early age- and even in adult hood we play out our ideas of what the fairy tale should be and we are disappointed when things go off script! The transition from La La Land to reality challenges you to really love your mate and to really give to your relationship. I believe that God created love and marriage to teach us hard lessons and also to give  us a joy like nothing else. Love is great and marriage is beautiful but why don't the fairy tales talk about the trying times that will inevitably come? why dont they teach us how to listen well? forgive completely? and sacrifice endlessly?
