The first 5 years of our relationship was definitely hard work. But we got pregnant only 6 months after dating...and add that with unemployment, losing everything we had (cars, house, business, etc) and the depression/insecurities that goes with that...oh and a drug/alcohol problem =:banghead:
It took 5 months of being separated before my husband finally "saw the light" :tongue_smilie:
He has made a complete 180 and I finally have the man I always knew he could be. (sounds cheesy I know :lol:) I, of course, give God 100% credit for the changes he has made and helping us work out our problems. (and so does my husband)
So for these last few years, I can finally say that our marriage is easy. Our personalities just completely click and we don't sweat the small stuff. I'm definitely more stubborn and hard headed, and he just goes with the flow (which I need!) Also, having hit rock bottom has given us an appreciation that I don't think we would of had otherwise. :D
