The Inspiration Behind "100 Reasons..."
I have to admit, I was taken aback by the title of a blog I saw. It can be found by searching for "...I Hate My Husband" on Google. What a sad story! Yet, just this morning I found myself thinking more negatively than positively about my own relationship with my husband. I decided, then and there, to put into action a thought I had about focusing on the good things. It's all about perspective. "Garbage in=garbage out!"When I choose to dwell on "whatsoever things are lovely, pure, and of good report..." it affects my whole outlook. So, it's time for some serious reflections on the man I married... and why I CHOOSE to LOVE him!
Three years and 39 Reasons later, I still CHOOSE to love my husband. I just need a motivational "kick" to finish what I started. I know that people need to hear the message that love is a choice! Marriages are suffering; husband and wife relationships are strained--and people often buy into the lie that they can and should end their marriage based on how they feel or don't feel. What ever happened to commitment, what about the vows made at the altar?

Amazing... It's a shame more people don't understand that you have to choose to love your spouse. It's so easy to dislike and hate your spouse when things get tough. It takes work to forgive and move on when their are hurt. I found this site because I have to chosen to continue to be in love with my husband and he has continued to be in love with me.
I completely agree1 For a couple weeks I was very down and everyone I turned too made me feel terrible about my husband and my relationship. I decided to look at the bright side of things however and everything has taken a turn for the better :) I actually just posted something on my blog about how great we fit together and how much I love him! Thank you so much for this wonderful post!
I'm a newly wed and my husband and I chose to never end our honeymoon. Needless to say we have had our ups and downs. When I have negative emotions about him I remind myself of the pain I experienced in all my attempts to show him how much I wanted to love him...forever. I wanted him a part of my life so much that I subjected myself to all kinds of emotional lonely nights (when he was not ready to commit). I am determined to put a smile upon his face and so when I am the reason behind his frown I embrace him and ask him if there is anything I can do to make him feel better. Our plan is to live and die together so we shall make the best of our moments together.-AMEN
