This week I encourage you all to find a place of contentment in your relationship/marriage. It's so easy to always be looking towards the next big step/milestone. When we get a house, when we have kids, when we have money, when our debt is paid off, when school is done, when we have the right jobs, etc... It's easy to get stuck in this mental trap and often results on missing out on the day-to-day joys in life and in our relationships.
With all of the constant craziness that seems to take over our lives, it can be so easy to get caught up in it all and just hang on, wishing for it all to be over. This is definitely something that Hubs and I often feel convicted of. We try to make a concerted effort to take the time and enjoy the moment. Put a plan in place for what we want to achieve in the future and then only focus on the here and now. What steps need to be completed for today-tomorrow is another day. We are planners and tend to get stuck in the constant tweaking and adjusting and watching....sometimes you just have to put it all aside and live!
What do you find contentment in?

Great post...I love just spending quiet time with my husband. In those moments I am content, and happy to be alive & sharing life with my best friend.
Good post! I need to hear this. My husband and I are focusing way too much on the future right now.
I am so guilty of this. When we were dating, we couldn't wait to be married, then we couldn't wait to start a family. We have realized that we need to slow down, enjoy the days as they come, because we aren't guaranteed tomorrow. Great post.

This was such a good post!!
Great words of wisdom!
It is so very true. I hope that you find your place of contentment as well!
I'm not married, but boyfriend and I have this same struggle... of just taking a step back and smiling at the life that is now.
