It’s been uphill. And downhill. We’ve gone around the hill and sometimes barreling through it. At least my marriage has. But here’s what I have learned so far. As you are climbing this mountain together, stumbling and falling, helping each other up, and sometimes tripping the other with vengeance, it is crucial to remember to stop and look around you. Look how far you have come. See the beauty from above and just breathe it in.
You can’t climb mount Everest without first climbing much smaller feats. There are days when we feel as though we did it. We reached the top and it feels glorious! We stop and look around us, clinging to each other in awe that we made it. Only to turn around and see yet a larger mountain we must defeat.
In answer to many prayers at a trial some time in my life I was given the answer that we as a couple needed to experience this in order to be prepared for what is to come. Not all of us may need to climb mount Everest, but we sure need to be prepared to do so.
