Love and Marriage
I had lunch with a good friend of mine and we started talking about how his first year of marriage has gone. He revealed a not-so-surprising confession- it hasn’t been easy.
He shared how he and his wife got into an argument over who was going to take out the trash. It turned into a big deal. I asked him why he just didn’t do it and be move on. He said, “Well…I really don’t know.”
It’s a familiar argument isn’t it? My wife and I have been there. I’m sure that you have too if you’re married or in a relationship.
I asked my friend this question: “You’d lay your life on the line if it meant saving hers, right?” He replied, “Absolutely.” I replied, “Why is it that we would die for our spouses yet we won’t get over ourselves for a couple of minutes to take out the trash?”
That’s the question.
Some of us are willing to sacrifice our life but we won’t make a small sacrifice to show love to our spouse. I know that’s something I need to work on. What about you? Valentine’s Day is just around the corner but marriage is 24/7/365.
Let’s get over ourselves and not wait until February 14 to show our love! After all, there’s no bliss like marital bliss.
P.S. My buddy decided to take out the trash and his wife can’t keep her hands off of him. Hmmm…
