"Happily married" is trite. It's like saying "I'm fine" all the time, when asked how you're doing. I am going to adopt the phrase "gratefully married" into my vocabulary--it's a much more honest description of the ups and downs and all arounds of marriage.

We all want our children to be happy but more importantly we want them to rely on God in every circumstance. That is what God wants too!Blairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13312154699880770846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-29518516428240602032012-01-30T22:13:39.897-05:002012-01-30T22:13:39.897-05:00love this!

I am definetly "gratefully" married and also blessed to be. <br />That one little word can be very obnoxious and often sounds like masking or glossing over what is real within marriage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-87416330670329830282012-01-30T12:34:58.851-05:002012-01-30T12:34:58.851-05:00Amen to that.

I agree that it is discouraging to single people when some act as though married life is perfect. It's not - but it's still worth it! :)@therebelchickhttp://therebelchick.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-80036381084769431322012-01-30T12:00:17.460-05:002012-01-30T12:00:17.460-05:00Mrs. White, once again you have described the way ...Mrs. White, once again you have described the way I feel better than I could have. "...we are gratefully married and have tremendous love and respect for each other. We do this through tears and laughter." Exactly. And we have grown so thankful to be loved, cared for, and comforted by eachother through it all.

YOu have hit the nail on the head!<br /><br />A long married life will bring just as many tears and sorrows (if not more) as joys and laughter. <br /><br />Commitment is the key to success in marriage -- not expecting lifelong happiness and daily marital bliss. There will be hard times for sure!!!busymomof10https://www.blogger.com/profile/16801397516931688515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-81669785044733041132012-01-30T09:19:13.923-05:002012-01-30T09:19:13.923-05:00Beautiful way to put it and so true!Beautiful way to put it and so true!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074600741074384419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-45351661579481842672012-01-30T07:47:29.190-05:002012-01-30T07:47:29.190-05:00This is a wonderfully encouraging post.
