While at work today I was struck by the thought that some marriages are not forever. I am happily married.(going on 4 years now) I also come from parents who have been happily married for 25+ years. My Husband is also very lucky his parents have been married for almost as long. I however have some friends as young as me who have not been as lucky. It makes me wonder what went wrong? Did these people truly love eachother, and if they did at what point do you just say enough... Dont get me wrong my marriage is far from perfect. We married young with two kids of our own from previous relationships. It took alot of work to get to where we are today a good 2 years to really get to where we were a whole family instead of two seprate families in the same house but I can not imagine a day that I would not have Jeremy here with me. The thought makes me ache. So I am back to the question when is it enough? I believe that if 2 people truly love eachother you should not give up marriage is thrown away to quickly now days I still believe that it is not disposable even after divorce there are still parts of you that you leave with the one who held you for a little while I dont believe you are completly whole again. My parents have had trial after trial and in the picture above they still stand my dad a little more feeble than the day he married her and my mom alot more tired and worn after all his illnesses and the hell my sister and I put her though but there they are Holding on to the one they love. I only hope that in another 20 years I can still be holding the one I love.
