My Husband and I have been together since I was just shy of 18. We got engaged a year later and married 3 years after that. Now, it’s been a blessing and disaster all in one. It has been in no way easy but being together with your partner will never be easy – It involves constant hard work, forgiveness, patience and a lot of LOVE.
If I look back, I am thankful for the experiences we have had and are having because of how it has made us grow to be the couple we are and still continuing to become. Time heals a lot of wounds, broken hearts and enables growth. But… You need to be Fiercely Married
Being fiercely married is like being a soldier at war and you’re the leader of
the battle. You either die on that field or you come home victorious and knowing there will never only be one battle. There will continue to be battles throughout your marriage. Some bigger and darker than others. Some will strike fear and make you tremble – you will feel weak.
Being fiercely married means tackling battles you thought were only in your nightmares. Facing them like you have been trained by the most powerful sources to defeat. Fighting through the inner wounds that feel like it’s sending you into a slow death. Using the pain of the wounds to power your will to survive through this all and fight through the darkness to get to the light. Being fiercely married means when the 100th battle comes, you’re strong enough to stand your ground and fight, yet again.
Being fiercely married means forgiving the mistakes you didn’t think were going to be made. The ones that made your heart crumble and your body weak, your mind hollow and your soul shake. Forgiving but not forgetting because that mistake will shape your marriage. Fight fiercely for it to shape your marriage for the better. Shape it so that you learn from the mistakes and set the foundation to be more solid and durable.
Being Fiercely married means sacrificing things that are really difficult because the long-term benefit is more worthwhile than the short-term benefit, however, being fiercely married is not sacrificing things that are important and to ensure boundaries and standards are set, that no matter what, these are not broken.
Being fiercely married means that when it’s time to love, you love HARD. Harder than yesterday or the day before. Love with your whole heart as if no hurt has penetrated through, no cracks or bruises have ever set. Love like today was your last day to love. Because that love is unconditional, and that love will be the source of your power through the darkest battles. That love will power your body, mind and soul to push through breaking point and that love will clear your thoughts to develop a strategy in order to win and grow as individuals and as a couple.
Being fiercely married is knowing when to look for help or being prepared to walk away should there be no hope or effort left. When you’re fighting the battle alone and help is not helping to pave the way. When effort is not in sight and love has disappeared. Be strong enough to know when the road has faded away and find yourself.
Being fiercely married is not easy, its continuous hard work but it’s worth it in the end.
