It's worth the wait

It's difficult starting your married life when you aren't financially stable. Don't get me wrong, I've never been happier than I am now. That "just married" buzz has far from left me. If I'm not starring at my rings, I'm looking at our wedding, blessing, and honeymoon pictures and reliving every moment. Robert and I are closer than we've ever been, and the happiness that feeling brings is indescribable. So what is so difficult you ask?
As a newlywed you imagine building your nest. Granted, that first years together aren't supposed to be easy. As you find your feet you're suppose to struggle. But Robert and I are so unstable that we can't even afford to start our own life together. There are times that truth really gets to me or that I'm so stressed I'm unpleasant to be around. Like any recent college grad I had high aspirations for myself and I hoped my accomplishments would help provide a good life for Robert and I. But the economy is terrible and the dream of stable career has yet to come true for either of us. The point is, amidst reveling in the happiness of being married, I've been worried about where our future will take us.
When I think about the fact that one day we'll move into our own home, that one day our careers will both work themselves out, I realize that it doesn't matter if we're struggling to find our ground; what matters is that we're struggling together. When things do turn around we'll be there to experience that excitement of something new together. And there's no man that I'd rather struggle or share our good times with than Robert. We are working hard and we're doing all the things we should be to make for a great future. So I'll admit right now the waiting is hard, and there are days it's hard to be positive, but when I think about all the good times that are to come for us, I can't help but think it's worth the wait.
