Girl meets boy. They giggle at every joke. They swoon over each glance. The little sweet nothings become big heart palpitating moments. As time passes the laughter will need to be deserved. The glances might be forgotten. Sweet nothings get overlooked while wishing for big moments.
Happily ever after might be a fairy tale or just a perception. As special becomes ordinary, the magic can be, well, not so magical. This is where a marriage can be tested. Someone else comes along who giggles at every joke and swoons with each glance. Affairs are often not about someone better looking or wanting something more but about wanting what they had.
Contentment is the key to happiness. Being grateful for what you have instead of looking for something new and fresh. The fire is there, it just needs to be kindled. Remember the why. Why did you fall in love?
Pray. Ask God to reveal how He looks at your spouse. God sees the potential. God loves the ordinary. God knows their best and accepts the worst. God always loves. Before you throw away something beautiful, take the time to focus on what would be lost. Give God time to work.
