Why is it that some marriages seem to be so naturally healthy, warm and fulfilling? How is it that some spouse’s seem to be so comfortable with each other? They have a grace, acceptance and affirmation for each other that is tangible and never forced or awkward. How does that happen, especially when my own marriage seems to be such hard work? Is the effort required for me and my spouse to get along a sign we were not really meant for each other? Is marriage really supposed to be this hard? Why does it look so easy for others and so hard for me? It just isn’t fair!
