There are always ups and downs in a relationship. But the ability to handle the pressures in life lies on how broad your understanding is towards everything.
My husband and I have been married for almost two years and are blessed with a beautiful angel, Marie Cassiopeia. Before I decided to tie the knot, I feared the word 'marriage'. I heard a lot of stories of unsuccessful marriages from my associates, friends and colleagues. But my husband has proven it wrong to me. He always has this positive disposition. He always believes that everything happens for a reason.
It wasn't love at first sight when I first met him. But his untiring and unconditional efforts make me love him more than ever. He is very submissive, unlike some of those husbands I heard from different stories. Especially, he very loving to our little angel. Unfortunately, she is not with us. She's with my parents because life is better back there. We only get to see her once in while. But whenever we are together, we make sure that we spend quality time with her. He always cries in silence whenever we depart from my parents place. That part of him always touches me. He is not a perfect husband, no one is. But life couldn't have been better without him and, of course, my little angel.
My life is not a fairytale, but I always regard him as my 'knight in shining armor'.

I'm happy for you. Always remember to let him know how you feel towards him, don't just say it here in mylot cos he is not a worm in you and will never know unless you tell him. It is by telling him how much he means to you that your relation continues to grow.

Dont go by the Mills and Boon parameters!! I used to do the same then one fine day I woke up. I never appreciated his help around the house but would fret and frown if he forgot my b'day or any such milestones. There are ways to know if he truly loves you and remembering your anniversary is the last parameter you should bank on. Men normally do not pay attention to such things anyway!! Happy Anniversary lotet81!!!

Sorry about this answer which was meant for a totally different question and I wonder how it got posted here. Anyway my answer to this would be that love begins after marriage and it is built together and you have done a swell job of it.Keep it up!

very well said... that's the right attitude... our husbands are also the angels sent by God to help us and guide us in all our undertakings... only a few married women feel this way nowadays... hope you always the best...

Congrats. I know it is hard to be away from your angel, but I am positive she is being very well taken care of. I am also certain that she knows that her mom and dad love her very much.
I have also been married a little over two years. We got married on August 28, 2007. I know my husband and I have gone through a lot also. About six months before we got married his mom had gotten sick. I had moved in before we got married so I could take care of her full-time while my fiance (husband) could work full-time. We had looked at the nursing home in our area and the facility was aweful and they did not care about their patients. The place was also so run down and we were afraid she would not get the care she deserved. Most of my friends and his family was so upset that I moved in before we got married and has now caused trouble. Normally, I would not have moved in before hand, but with his mom being terminaly ill and needing constant care I felt that I had to help because she was my family also. Besides, it gave me time with her and it had brought us closer together. She had helped me plan my wedding so she could keep her mind off being sick.
My husband is great. He works at a job where he hates his co-workers just so I can go back and finish my degree. I have three more classes to take to get my Bachelor's Degree. I can't think of many husband's who would sacrifice his happiness for mine. He and I are struggling financially, but we are managing the best we can. I have been looking for work online, but have not found many online jobs that will help suppliment the income. I do many crafts and have thought about selling them online, but I am not sure how to go about doing that. I am sure it will cost money and we really do not have much.
Best of luck to you and please take care of each other.

Hi lotet, I'm surprised, you have spoken my heart...The only sad story is that your kid is not with you. To be frank, there can never be a better place for your kid than yours. Reasons may be many, but i strongly state that any kid should be brought up under parental guidance. Hope either of you make some compromise for your child's better future. Because at the end, you will be the only one to be blamed for any misconduct of your child. I pray to god that your courtship grows stronger and stronger as your kid grows...
