9 YEARS MARRIED

Good morning world

This morning I celebrate nine years of marriage, that right nine years of marriage little old me.

Want I wanted to share this morning to get to this point (nine years) has not been easy. Both me and my wife have had our share of problems, arguments, disagreements etc. We had those days we have upset and even hurt one another.

But we decided that we would not quit. When we took our vows it was for life for good and bad. Let me tell there has been days I am sure that my wife has thought what am I doing here. "I AM A LADY, GET ME OUT OF HERE" lol.

Bless her, she held in there and I can state that our marriage has gone from strength to strength, because I have had to learn to change and adapt, more importantly COMPROMISE. Both of us also had to learn to forgive when the other one messed up, we both also had to learn to say sorry. At times it feels like i say SORRY more than her (NOT COUNTING OR NOTHING) Lol

A big factor in achieving this milestone has been learning to appreciate one another for who we are and loving the fact that we are different and we handle things in a different ways at times and that's OK. We also had to learn to be in a partnership and seek out each other strength and roles and praise that. My wife is the carer of the home and the kids and she good at that. I was the bread winner and my role is to take care of the finances. It may have been the other way round that I was the home and kids carer and she was the bread winner, either way it doesn't matter we just learnt who did what best.

Final point I got to share is marriage is a LEARNING CURVE. I understand my wife more know than 11 years ago and I know I will understand her more in another 10 years. Every year you will learn more about that person but also I and my wife have gone to seminars and have marriage disciple to ensure we also learn how to build a great marriage.

So to every one out there starting out in dating my words of encouragement are "if me and my wife can do it, so can you"

Also I know that we live in a society that feels marriage is not important but trust me, marriage has been one of the best things to happen in my life that has allowed me to obtain the success I have so far. When you have someone who loves you, supports you and care for your needs, WHO CAN STOP YOU.

Bless people
