I do appreciate my hy husband, and I know he appreciates me. But I think it bears discussing that marriage doesn't always equate with instant happiness. Its hard work to be married, so much give and take is involved. Some days I'm content with my marriage, some days I'm positively ecstatic, and some days I think it would be easier if it were only me that I had to worry about.
I consider myself extremely blessed - I live in the richest society in the history of the world, I'm well-fed, well-traveled, and well-educated, I have a supportive family, beautiful and healthy children, interesting friends, and of course my health. I have a husband who adores me, most of the time, and me him, but if tomorrow I'd wake up without him life would have to go on. And I am pretty confident that it would, that in the wake of my sadness I would go on. I'd venture to guess I'm one of the lucky ones, too, that most people could only hope for such wealth and riches and blessings.
{{{hugs}}} to all who might feel lonely. Try and count the blessings you do have, you might find there are many out there you just haven't thought of.
