Katharine Axel2 months agoI’ve been married to my husband for almost a year and a half now, and we’ve been together for 3 years. We have a 2-year-old and another on the way. I feel the need to say this upfront: we’re not perfect, but honestly, we’ve been madly in love this whole time. Sure, there have been moments when we were blind to it or didn’t want to face certain things, but there’s no denying that the fire between us is real. We both feel it, others feel it, and even strangers can’t help but notice how we connect. When we’re together, it’s like our worlds just merge. I wanted to share this to remind anyone who’s struggling in their relationship to take a step back and reflect on the bigger picture. Yes, there might be resentment or hurt from the past, but take a moment to look deeper at what’s really there. Whenever there’s pain or conflict, I encourage you to look beyond the surface. I truly believe that if I had been from a different place or lived a different life, I would still have found my love. (A little cheesy, but he makes me feel that way 🥹) I just want to encourage others to push through the tough times, but I also want to make it clear that I’m not suggesting anyone stay in an abusive relationship—physically, emotionally, or mentally. That’s not what this is about. This is just me sharing my belief that love can help us overcome difficulties if we’re willing to work on it.141
