If you subscribe to the school of thought that marriage just takes work; yeah this post may not be for you.
I know for a FACT that no relationship is easy, but I also know that we don't have to treat our relationships like a nine to five that we loathe. I especially believe that those who are married don't have to treat there marriage as a tedious job that must be done.
The way to make it not some loathsome enslavement is to make the decision to not treat your marriage like a job. That you honestly make the decision not to look at the things you can do to help your marriage grow as work. It is truly all in the decisions that we make. We decide whether we give our all to something or to only give a little bit of what we have. Perception is an amazing power, a power that we all have, but haven't fully understood the consequences of such an awesome ability. It is in perception that we make the decisions on how we will approach, handle, and respond to a situation and/or the people in said situations.
Just make the decision to be the best person in your marriage. Make the decision to work through your problems effectively and not be counterproductive. Make the decision to love, honor, and cherish your spouse. It is something that I believe is very simple and it lies in the decisions that we make. A marriage takes two and it takes those two people to make the decision to make it work. The work doesn't have to be arduous, but instead make the decision to make the work fun or rather not even work at all.
It is all in your perception, just make the decision to perceive it from a positive standpoint and you'll be on your way from reading all the crap I have to say and onto making a happy, enjoyable, and fun filled marriage with half the work, but the whole perspective.
