For years I made my marriage much harder than it needed to be. This year my husband and I are celebrating 22 years of marriage on our best vacation yet. WHY because no matter emotions in the past would have put me in a bad mood I DECIDED to DO BETTER.

Here are a few reasons why:

• God reminds me that LOVE is the highest commandment of all. If you really love someone like Christ loves us then you don’t react to the little stuff

• Even if I felt Right I am learning to manage my mind to say I can get offended or forgive like the grace I am extended by God no matter what I have done
• Biggest reminder is as I am getting older and learning more about Christ I know that tomorrow is not promised and the same amount of time exist in each day HOW do I want to spend it

Please don’t read this post to think I am taking all of the blame or credit for the condition of our marriage.

I do know the hardest thing was letting go of being right or wrong remembering what a good friend recently shared marriage is about being HOLY nor “happy” aka right”.

When I changed attitude it changed a whole lot about our vacation. So much that this morning my husband was like are you going to be like this when we get home and I said confidently YES!
