The Marriage Journey II

Today's Marriage Journey: One key lesson that I have learned over the course of my marriage is that we choose our course and internal roles with God's guidance. We do not need anyone's opinion impeding on our family.

It is a true statement that until someone walks in your footsteps, they will never know your story. We have been judged and looked down upon by family and friends because of how we conduct our home. This has saddened me deeply, but has taught me (us) how to stand on our beliefs regardless of what people say or think. The result will speak for itself. This tree will bear forth AWESOME fruit..

We are born to pioneer, to transcend, and to shape our own communities. Our marriage  functions based on our strengths and weaknesses; to leverage what we have and make it work for us. The world does not tell us what to do and how to be. We are free in this regard and encourage others to do the same. The advice is to do what functions best in your household because home should be a safe haven and peaceful abode. Agree on a path for household duties...who will work..homework duties..etc etc and while counsel is good- remember that it is the two of you that need to have peace- everyone else gets to take a backseat.  Be blessed!
