Marriage has its ups and downs and is a trial through and through, one that you and your partner undertake together. And I believe that these husband and wife quotes here help symbolize that special relationship perfectly.
Sure, things can hit a rough patch sometimes. There are times when I’m angry at my husband and times where he’s displeased with something I mess up. That’s the most normal part of every relationship.
Trust me, there’s no fairy tale dream of a perfect marriage where you’re always living in harmony. Even two people who are so alike are bound to rub one another the wrong way at some point.
A truly successful marriage is realizing that the bad stuff rarely ever happens and that there is a lot more good than bad in a healthy husband and wife relationship.
At the end of the day, you two said the fateful “I do” for a reason and promised to be together through the good and the tough. I’m just here to remind you of that through a collection of quotes that will undoubtedly touch your heart.
