Being a wife is harder than being a mom.......
Don't get me wrong being a mom has an abundance of challenges, but it’s a different challenge and with each change you get this sense of relief. When I first got married to my husband, our first few months together was rough and extremely challenging. I had days where I would question myself if I made the right decision, did I not listen properly to God and maybe this wasn't the person he had ordained for my life. The infamous honeymoon phase that everyone speaks of and so badly wants we didn't have that, and because of the world we live in where everyone shows you their highlight reel and shares the beautiful parts of their marriage, I believed something was wrong with my marriage and that it just wouldn't work out. The reality is marriages are different, the way everyone loves and shows love is different and I have learnt that I just can't compare my marriage to everyone's.
Marriage is hard but the wonderful thing I have learnt, and I think what has really helped my marriage and made me be a better wife, is remembering who I fell in love with, knowing the person I married and I know he loves me back just as much. Our life and marriage is not perfect, but that is fine because we have to do it our way and not the way Instagram shows it, and guess what our way works for our marriage. Relationships are so hard these days, and there are so many opinions out there about the way people choose their life but just one thing I want to leave with you all is, you only succeed with how much work you put into something. Its not easy but the rewards far outweigh it all. but, in knowing that we are both on this journey together cheering each other on and learning from each other. Most importantly learning how to love and care for each other in our way not the way society says it should be or how

I feel the same way. Motherhood is challenging, but in a completely different way, though both require a whole lot of patience, right?!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful post! And yes, sometimes it is harder, but you nailed it perfectly on explaining!
ReplyDeleteI find marriage and motherhood to both have their own set up joys and struggles. I wouldn't be able to do any of it without the guidance and strength of the Lord.
ReplyDeleteI agree 100% being mom is easy compared to being a wife.. Thanks for this.. I needed it today
