For those of you who have lost children or even still have living children. Remember how important it is to connect with your spouse. Take time, even two hours a week and talk about your goals, plan your budget, make plans, date each other!
The statistic is staggering!! 80% of marriages end in divorce following the loss of a child.
DO NOT BE A STATISTIC!!!!
There are couples who have been married for 40 years and still have not LIVED, still have not truly CONNECTED, still don’t know their spouses biggest desires and dreams for their life. Don’t be that couple. Just because bad things happen in our lives, just because we get busy is no excuse for neglecting one another. Choose to make each other important. It is neither of your fault, don’t blame eachother. Don’t blame your family, don’t blame your living children. Don’t blame yourself!!
Be there, be present and be what the other one needs!! If you can only give 10% of you today, tell them!! A marriage isn’t 50/50. You both need to be giving what you can give in the moment. Loving each other enough to help fill in the other percent of what the other is lacking. It’s real and honest hard work and LOVE!!
Thank you to my amazing husband for connecting, dating, planning, honoring and loving me enough to make US important. You can do it!! Sit and cry together, plan together, live together, connect and pray together. Build the life that you both and your children deserve. Build it out of connection, faith, hard work and love!!💙 I love you Mr. Walsh 💙
