The Marriage Secret That Changed Everything-Her View From Home

Sometimes marriage is easy. Sometimes it’s really flipping hard!

Often, I think it’s the season we’re in–whether it’s planting, harvest, etc. that is going on here at the farm.

Sometimes I think it’s the figurative season–the ages of our kids, the number of years we’ve been married, things like that.

But regardless, after almost 12 years with my farmer, I have discovered a secret that changed everything in relation to my marriage.

I wrote it out awhile back, and am so honored to share it with you here and on the Her View From Home blog!

“I’ve found myself feeling so resentful toward my husband lately. Resentful of the long hours he is working right now. Resentful that he’s never home, which leaves me alone with our three kids—ages seven, four, and one—24/7. All moms undoubtedly can relate to how mentally and physically exhausted I am at the end of every day.

Don’t misunderstand me—I am SO flipping grateful he has a good job and that he is a man of integrity who works so hard to support his family.

I’ve been especially grateful for him for the last almost five years since I’ve become a stay-at-home mom. Grateful that he agreed to let me hang up my hat as the breadwinner of the family and trade it in for an apron to become the homemaker of the family. I am grateful I GET to do this.

Anyone who’s made that transition knows it comes with many challenges.
