Thou shalt love thy spouse :)

Isn't that why we marry them??
To love em'!
And yet, there are days, for everyone that's it's difficult.
I found this fantastic article by Heather Hale:
The 10 Marriage Commandments
I love it all, but here's one of my favorite "commandments"-
 
3. Thou shalt communicate. Your spouse has a lot of wonderful qualities, but he or she has never been and will never be a mind reader. Chances are, your spouse wants to give you the world, but you'll have to tell him or her what you need. Own your feelings and be honest about emotions.
 
Seriously, go read it and then give your spouse a smooch.
Be happy to be in love!
 
Also, this is just another reason I love my church so dearly.
So often fingers are pointed, doom and gloom is predicted and preached, but not in my church.
Always, always are we taught: forgive, love, be grateful, be happy, be hopeful. There's so much to live for and so much more goodness than evil.
And one of those {huge} good things is marriage.
It's beautiful.
It's difficult.
But nothing worth while is easy.
And marriage is most certainly worth while.
