The other day we went on a nature walk at our local park.
Strollers aren't really an off road kind of vehicle so we decided to let Rooster walk while Evan wore Cupcake in the baby carrier. It was slow going,
but Rooster did great! He made it about ½ mile before calling it quits, but of
course we were still ½ mile from the trail head, so someone was going to have
to carry him.
What was I doing while my husband was carrying both our children? I was
being pregnant and taking lots of pictures.
This is just one more proof that my husband really does love
me more.
My husband and I are past the “honeymoon” phase of marriage
and well on our way to “the kids are starting to outnumber us” phase of
marriage. I do miss the quality time we used to have together. I miss fancy dinners and date nights. I miss
getting flowers (from a real florist!).
But if I had to pick, I’d trade that honeymoon in for this
kind of love any day.
The kind of love that sacrifices together for our family.
The kind of love that prays together and works out our
disagreements.
The kind of love that stays up late to wash dishes and gets
up early to make breakfast.
The kind of love carries all the weight on long nature hikes
with little ones.
These are the moments I hold close to my heart. Real love
and real marriage.
He surprised me with a magazine instead of sweet things! Lol. Sounds strange, but was so considerate!

ReplyDeleteLoved reading this! I laughed at the picture of your husband, what a trooper! You are so right, I'd trade the honeymoon phase in for this sacrificial love any day. :) ~~Caroline @ Anchored In His Grace
