No problems in my marriage...but we can always aspire to be a better spouse to our loved one. I know that having a happy marriage will trickle down to my parenting...and eventually to all aspects of my life. I know that in the past, when things seemed cold and disconnected between my David and me...it was all i could think about and I couldn't fully concentrate on my duties as a mother and fulfil them to the best of my abilities. I want to set a good example for my children by treating my husband the way he deserves and vice versa. I always promised myself that i never wanted the kind of "marriage" my parents have. But there have been times, where I would see myself thinking the way my mom did...I'd pray to help me out of my stubbornness, so that I wouldn't set this example for my children, so that I could break the cycle.
There have been a series of events over the course of the past few years that have distanced my sisters and me from my parents. If I could have it any other way, i would...but it would take the miracle of my dad understanding that what he wants for us, is not always the best for us. I know that I am so much happier, and so much more successful than I ever could have been if i had followed my father's path.
"Success is not the key to happiness.
Happiness is the key to success.
If you love what you are doing,
you will be successful"
