No one wants to say it, but everyone knows it’s true that having babies and parenting small children can be pretty tough on a marriage. I really think that regardless of how solid your relationship is, you’re bound to endure the inevitable challenges of early parenthood.

With the sun gloriously shining today, Michael took me out in a wheelchair. We went around the hospital compound, talking about trivial things and just simply enjoying each other’s company and connecting.
I know that being in the hospital for more than three weeks, it could be too easy to get caught up in the trials of life and neglect quality time with family.

The only reason I can come up with is maybe because I try my hardest to never allow negative feelings to crowd out my positive feelings. I don’t dwell on the negative things because I’m afraid that I may find myself swallowed up by my own bitterness or sense of injustice. More

Today, my husband and I are celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary and a lot has happened since we got married. Our lives have changed beyond recognition especially now that we have the Small Fry. But after five years, our marriage is just getting better and stronger every year. I always find myself loving my husband as much (even more actually) today as the day we got married and I can honestly say that I have an awesome and happy marriage. More
