No road is ever perfectly smooth. Sometimes you need the bumps along the way to appreciate the good, smooth parts of the road.
It is the same with marriage. We all hope life is completely smooth, however, life doesn’t always happen like that. The bumps along the way keep our relationship alive and fresh.
I haven’t met a couple with a long-lasting marriage who’ve said, “Oh, we never fight.” They have — many times. But the arguments don’t have to tear us apart. Instead, they can make us stronger and more able to face even bigger challenges. These are the times when love really has the opportunity to grow.
What do you do when the road of married life gets bumpy?
