Summary: Never Quit Trying It’s interesting how we think of having an infant or small children as an exciting time/phase of life. It is draining, but we will still label it as exciting or never a dull moment. If we stop to think about it a baby can’t give anything back yet we are continually meeting their needs. Sure we may have moments of feeling overwhelmed with the magnitude of the task of caring for them but we still do it with out the expectation of anything from them. Why?…Because we love them. How is this any different from our spouse? We should be continually working on and putting into the relationship, because we love them. Our society has trained us to look for quick fixes, but the marriage relationship is not a quick fix. It is a life long relationship. We need to make sure that we are doing our part. There will most assuredly be times where our spouse because of stress, other things going on in their life or even lack of knowing how, can’t give in the way we can. Instead of getting frustrated with our spouse, make the choice to be the one who goes above and beyond for the sake of the relationship. Remember the model for Love that was given to us, is the one who gave His life for us.  Â
