5 Minute Marriage Check: Who’s Your Boyfriend?
Day in, day out.
You wake up, you see him. You go to bed, you kiss him.
You pick up his socks. You make his dinner. You take care of his children.
You know his favorites, his jokes, his shirt size, his embarrassments, his dreams, how to fix his coffee.
You know him so well, in fact, that some days you don't notice him.
You walk by without a hug.
You leave the house without a kiss.
You end a phone call without an "I love you."
You have a conversation without smiling into his eyes.
Don't lose your boyfriend, your soul mate, your lover just because he is also your husband. Everything that you dreamed of, the way he made your heart race: it's all in there. What you crave in a companion is held in the heart of that man whose shirts you iron. Don't lose that love because the faithful day-by-day gets stale. You have to fight the mundane, fight the apathy, fight the lethargic rut you fall into.
