I, like Kellsi, am trying to improve my relationship with my husband by first improving myself and my relationship with God. My husband, Tyler, is not what you'd call a "romantic," but what he is, is a loving, caring, fun husband and father. Before I met, and married my husband, I had a 3 1/2 year long relationship with another young man. We had a young, "can't get enough of you," kind of lovend he was a hopeless romantic. I find myself comparing my relationship now, to my relationship with my ex, but I feel as though Tyler and I have simply become too comfortable with each other in our marriage. We continue to do nice things for each other, but the so called, "spark" and that beginning excitement has been replaced by long nights, and busy schedules.
I feel as though unrealistic expectations have been placed on men in the world, and that women (including myself) have an idealistic version in our heads of what the "perfect man" is, and what they should be doing for us. I see this daily on facebook and pinterest. "A perfect man is"...fill in the blank. My husband is not "the perfect man," but I am by no means a perfect wife either. All I can do it accept and love him for him, as he does for me. This is my journey to learning a better, different, kind of love; a more Godlike love.
