Life just gets better and better 

I'm such a different person now than I was when I left Mr. Ex. I'm not sure the former me would even recognize the current me. I used to be jaded and cynical. Nowadays, I'm upbeat and optimistic. I went from believing I was unable to love to finding true love.

Who would have imagined that?!

Looking over my old posts, I'm still in awe at the woman I used to be. Hard to believe I ever had any dates at all. I surely don't sound like I was much fun to be around.

Now I'm remarried to the man of my dreams -- the man I know God chose for me. We work on our marriage daily. We have our moments, but we solve every issue quickly and with love. I think we're both able to love so freely because we made clean breaks from our previous spouses (easy to do when you have no children) and also because we immersed ourselves in self-improvement after our divorces. We knew there were chinks in our armor and we were actively working to repair them when we met.

That hasn't changed. We enjoy regular sessions is with a Christian marriage counselor who helps us navigate through the early months of our marriage. We're learning all about healthy and unhealthy conflict and how to adjust to the rhythms of another individual. It's like quest for treasure -- the success is as much in the journey as in the destination.
