“I can’t believe that I have already been married for 5 years. So much has changed. I don’t even feel like the same person from when I was dating. Is that a good thing?”

As years go by, we as individuals change, but in marriage you both change. Each day you are learning about one an other and growing closer together. I thought that my husband and I were close when we were dating, but now I know that dating is just the beginning.

Change can be a scary thing, but many times it is a good thing. If you are learning from your mistakes and taking steps to improve your character, then change is for the better. But if you are changing in a way that brings harm to yourself or others, then you may want to rethink the choices you are making.

I am so glad that I didn’t stay as I was five years ago. With God’s help I am more able to encourage my husband and be the wife he needs, which I learned each and every day since I said “I do.” So, yes I think this change is a good thing.
