I have not been a couple now for a number of years. Though my second husband and I saw each other frequently after our divorce, we adjusted to living more singular lives with that change. Lots of smooth interactions were rocked by many bumpy ones. Thus, I knew that I’d made the right decision.
Yet, all in all I enjoyed being a couple reflecting together on our thoughts. My first marriage was very congruent with real sharing and agreeing on various topics. But my second marriage was a creation of chaos often because he argued every detail. I began to lose my self confidence as a result. The public misunderstandings were the worst!
As the years have added up there are many times I think about the “ we” times in my life. The many gifts included: sharing affection, life challenges, raising a family, balancing work and play, worshiping together and supporting every aspect of our lives. Hard work and growth as a couple enhanced everyday making our time together rewarding with many goals fulfilled blending our me into we lives.
Obviously God intended us to be “coupled” otherwise he would have not created Adam for Eve! All the animals in the world have a male and female because life promises to go on with a “mate” and procreation between them helping to continue population. This plan has been in place since the beginning.
So when I launched a new life as “me”, I knew it would be a different way of living. I’ve been fortunate to keep my many experiences alone positive because my “we” times were filled with love and devotion even after death and divorce. I’ve been blessed.
