I’ve heard many couples complain that their spouse is not the person they married or used to know. That they are different, and their relationship is negatively affected by this.

I can understand being different. I mean I am definitely not the same man my wife married, and she’d agree. Fortunately these changes are for the better. And although the “past me” had some issues, we appreciate how the experiences from the “past me” shaped me into who I am today.

But, what about those couples whose spouse changes have brought about challenges that alter the very fabric of their marriage? Can those couples remember the good times in the marriage, or will they only focus on the challenges they now face?

The couple in the video below has chosen to focus on the blessings in their marriage and family. The video gave me chills, and it will do the same for you. It will also give you a new appreciation of your spouse and your commitment in marriage through good and challenging times.

What will you remember about your marriage?
