“Love is as much of an object as an obsession, everybody wants it everybody seeks it, but few ever achieve it, those who do, will cherish it, be lost in it, and among all, will never…never forget it.” Anonymous

Considering the fact that my husband and I just had another fight and I finally threw the “D” work out it seems ironic that this quote was on my I-Google page. I am a big believer in fate, forgiveness and forever but I must say those are some hard words to live by all the time!

I often find myself viewing my marriage through a thick dense fog. When will the air clear, I ask? When will I breathe easier and when will the sun shine again? I am so familiar with this roller coaster ride. I love the ups and hate the downs and as time goes on the creaking of the tracks gets louder and louder.

I started to write this article about a week ago and never finished it. I can tackle the house, the kids and the finances with ease but trying to figure out my marriage is another thing all together.  I seem to easily place the issue’s of my marriage into a nice neat box and only bring the box out when I absolutely have to.  I guess it’s easier for me to push it aside and focus on all the other issues in my life. But year after year of doing just that, pushing my marriage aside, it has finally caught up to both my husband and I.

When I first started mommymachelle, I had a link called “for better or worse”. My daughter, as a faithful reader of my blog asked me why I never put anything in that section. I told her I just didn’t have anything to write about at the time but the truth is I had so much to write about, it’s just an area of my life I didn’t want to focus on.  But what I want and what I need to do has now come to light and I have to start tackling these issue not just for the sake of my sanity but to the benefit of my children and my husband as well.

So with much resistant, I being a new chapter in my book of life.

As a mother I will always love, cherish and protect my children. This I can guarantee!


As a woman, I will always be opinionated, temperamental and indecisive. This I can also guarantee!


But more importantly than anything else right now – As a wife, I will learn to put my marriage and husband first, I will not forget how important love is and I will always remember that I have to cherish every moment with my husband because marriage isn’t a guarantee, its a privilege that cannot be taken for granted!
