Isn’t it amazing how God can give us the person who is perfect for us? I feel that way about my husband, too, but not everyone has that. I’ve lost more sleep over friends’ marriages than my own. I’ve learned God has us all on different paths to help us grow and connect with him.

I've walked with three friends who are going through divorce. It's difficult not to let their heaviness affect me as well.

Absolutely loved the way you honored your husband in this post. Especially in your acknowledgment of quick we can be as mothers to talk about our love for our children but not always our husbands.

I rarely hear a lot of creators who strive to do family life intentionally speak this way and I admire you doing so!

How easily we forget to. It seems that loving our children is instinctual, naturally unconditional, but loving our spouses is something we choose, constantly fighting the conditionality of our love for them. It's something we spouses should be conscious of for sure! Because how equally beautiful is the love that is chosen and pursued daily compared to the one that is natural and requiring little to no effort at all!
