a) get to parent my children every day that I choose
b) do not have to get a full time job
c) get to live in my home where i want to raise my children (I could not afford to otherwise)
d) can always hope.
One day we may get along, perhaps when the kids are older and need less of my physical energy to sustain them. One day, when the kids are in full time school perhaps i can work full time and reduce some of our financial stress. One day, we might be able to afford to eat out more and employ a housecleaner so I do not always do these things by myself. One day my husband might have less stress himself and actually want to talk to me about something real (not the weather or other small talk). One day, I really hope we can begin to appreciate one another, and focus on putting our marriage first.
It's not about keeping the house, having body changes or illness, abuse or fickle "happiness" chasing.
If people revered marriage as a third party and a priviledge, to be taken care of - lots of things would change. Or gave it to Christ. We live in the least tolerant, patient, dedicated, "now" society - and the toll is the breakdown of our countries because families don't stay together.
Lack of community and support, including accountability, responsibility and exclusion or aloneness allow horrible things to happen in the place that is supposed to be the safest. But in saying that - marriage is not a reason or a cover for all things - it is meant to be a gift and an honourable position in keeping our society strong.
