But then I see my parents, when they are towns apart!! How my dad comes home after a long and busy day and casually says, haven’t spoken to my wife today!! How my mom leaves voice notes “I’m leaving for church, don’t have my phone on me” and two hours later “I’ve reached back home”.. They call each other multiple times a day, maybe to talk routines but they do make it a point to check on the other..
They still care despite the 36+ years of marriage.. they still have arguments, they still have differences of opinion, they still tolerate a lot of things about the other, they still adjust to each others choices and routines, and they still have each others backs!! They still worry about the other, they still care for each other, they still support the other!! They are the proof that love might not be the same expression as it was in the early months!! But love stays and the fact that they both long to just get the few minutes with the other proves that happy marriage isn’t a myth, it’s a reality that two people who put efforts wins!!
