I also feel that I have been blessed with an incredibly loving and caring husband. We really haven't had to work that hard to achieve this happiness, but I know it would be worth it even if it had been hard...and I've definitely seen my share of couples having a hard time.

I wish I could magically make every couple in the world have a happy and fulfilling marriage... I've considered becoming a marriage counselor, but I don't know if I'd be good at it or not.

Anyway, I'm just rambling now, but I wanted to tell you congrats on getting to such a happy place in your marriage!! I hope you only grow closer and closer together as the years go by!

Thanks Angie! If you have a desire in your life to do counseling then go for it! Don't let your inhibitions talk you out of it. Id hate to see you reach a point in your life saying "I wish I would have done this or that". You are young, find those dreams and fulfill them while you can.

Glad you are happy also. I can always tell by your posts that you are - it shows. That is nice! And I agree with you. It would be a better world to live in if every couple could find happiness in their marriage w/ one another.

I'm just SO scared to try. What if I gave bad "guidance" (they say to never use the word advice ) and it made things worse!? I'd HATE that since marriage, especially young and struggling marriages, mean so much to me. I want more than anything to see people have loving and happy relationships. I think I'd rather live with the regret of not trying than to try and then see negative results. But thanks so much for the encouragement. It's just too much of a risk to take (for my sake as well as other's).
