Marriage is Sacrifice

 

I once heard "I'll make sacrifices IF I have to" when referring to marriage. I believe that marriage is all about sacrifices, whether they be big or small. I make sacrifices to show my husband how much I love him. After a long day of school, taking care of our baby, cleaning, cooking etc. I try and find ways to serve my husband, some way to make his load lighter so that he can sit and relax at the end of the day. Would I I like to have alone time or time to relax instead? Of course! But I do these small sacrifices because I love him.

A little background story to this picture: my husband had COVID, our son had an ear infection and so I was taking care of both of them. One of the nights I was throwing up for what seemed like hours and our son had woken up screaming. Even though Chris wasn't feeling well either, My sweet husband made sacrifices so that he could put our little one back to bed and then take care of me.

Marriage is all about sacrifices. It's not about keeping score; who did the dishes last? Who brings in more money? Who has the most free time? It's about what you can give to your spouse, and I hope I can one day say I've given everything to him and our family.
