There is a sweetness that comes into our marriage when my heart lightens, breastfeeding wanes, and good ole female hormones begin to normalize. My heart turns from the baby and back again to my boyfriend, of twenty-two years. We laugh more, agree more and snuggle more. It's a wonderful time of feeling grateful that we've weathered the tougher times! If I ever find that "magic bullet" that could bring on this season earlier after childbirth, I will package it and sell it, and call it the "marriage saver".
I praise God for a patient and loving husband. I thank God for friends who sustain me and point me back to God and his word during the slumps. It is a huge blessing to still be "in love" after all we've endured!
