Fairy Tale... Ha!!!

Do you remember reading or listening to fairy tales when you were a kid? I do. A young lady or princess, for one reason or another, gets herself into some kind of predicament, and a young prince finds out her situation and her whereabouts, hops on his trusty steed to ride across country and through a haunted forest to save her. Along the way, some chipmunks dance a few jigs and the dwarfs hum a few bars, and before long we can all hear "And they lived happily ever after" and a big fat "The End" flashes across the screen.
No wonder little girls grow into bigger girls that fantasize about weddings and fairy tales.
It does sound like a blast.
However, no one ever talks about what happens after the credits roll. No one sees the princess getting pregnant and the prince starting to go out with his guys, hanging out all times of night without calling. No one thinks about when the same trusty steed he rides up to save her in gets repossessed and the castle goes into foreclosure. And even more, no one talks about how the princess never loses the baby weight from the twins she carried and birthed and how the prince's eyes start to follow the slender hips of the young maidens traipsing through the palace.
Yeah, fairy tales can get deep too.
You may be in a little deep too. Maybe you had drama before your nuptials or maybe everything was fairy tale-like before your I dos. Maybe you are still feeling as though your're drifting along on the clouds of Far-Far Away. It could be possible that you feel like you're on a slow ride through the haunted forest. No relationship is without some type of issue. I'm not wishing bad on you and your hubby, but I am stating facts. any time you place two people in a household to share space and finance, contrary feelings will arise. The good thing about it is, you can take your time to work them out, together.

Ecclesiastes 9:11

"I have seen something else under the sun:

The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong,

nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant

or favor to the learned;

but time and chance happen to them all."

Time and chance. 

But not he kind of chance, like rolling-the-dice chance. 

This kind of chance is the chance that you take on allowing God to work His perfect work in your marriage. Just because things happen in your marriage, no matter how major or minor they may seem to present themselves, you have the time that you need to make them happen. What's the rush? There aren't any credits threatening to roll on your marriage. You can be the strongest woman, the wealthiest, or the wisest, but everything that can happen or be restored will take time to manifest.
Even in the most popular fairy tales, the prince and princess had to go work through issues before they could work together in making their marriage a success: hateful in-laws, poverty, illnesses, incarceration and so much more. However, for one reason or another, things always worked out. The couple always found their way back to each other. Even from opposite ends of the world, their love found each other. 
Some fairy tales may be similar, but none of them are the exact same. They all seem to end the same way. You marriage may not be perfect, but keep working at it. You have time. Remember, its YOUR fairy tale.You are the main character and the love interest. You don't have to live pining over your Prince Charming; he's already fallen for you. 
Keep working to create your happily ever after...
