When the Thrill Is Gone

Do love and marriage really go together? Some people believe marriage is an arrangement. Others believe that you should be in love, and then there are those who believe that marriage is only a choice of friendship. Whatever you believe about marriage, one day the excitement that you experienced when you first got married will seem distant. Life has a way of making you grow up. What do you do then, when the thrill of marriage is gone?

Go searching for hidden treasure. See as you grow in marriage, you change. My husband and I have been married for almost 10 years. It has been an interesting journey of hills and valleys that have shaped us into who we are now. In this journey, we have changed jobs, grown spiritually, had children and now we are trying to adapt to be teachers while balancing everything else. We grew as individuals and as a partnership. See when the thrill is gone, you can really do the work because there is no longer an exaggeration of each other. You see each other for who you really are at your purest form. I love my husband now more than I did on the day we married because we not only have made history but I love the man he is becoming. I love his understanding of me. I love his support of me and the list goes on. If you only stay on the surface of the thrill, you will never be able to unlock the hidden treasure that is waiting for you.

This is reflective of the love that God has for us as His children. You begin to serve each other with gladness because you find pleasure in making your spouse happy. It is now a love that touches eternity and establishes a legacy.

The love becomes deep and real and the mystery of what your spouse is becoming is more arousing than physical touch. Learning each other over and over is the greatest thing about becoming one. What was once a thrill is now a life long escapade that you can enjoy for ages!

Marriage can be beautiful. It is beautiful. So what do you do when the thrill is gone? Keep exploring and being a student of each other. You've only scratched the surface of the power of love.

Stay in faith and let love be your anchor.

Giving you the ladder up🙏🏾,

P.S. If you all like this post enough, maybe I can get my husband to do a podcast with me and I can share it with you 😉.
