Normally for Ryan and I, our relationship stays pretty stable. Not that we don't have our fights or disagreements, because we most certainly do. It's just that usually it's pretty straight forward. Have issue, discuss issue (sometimes with more vigor then others), resolve problem, move on. But recently we had an issue that just wouldn't go away. We would talk and talk until it seemed to be better but then a new layer would present itself and we'd find ourselves having to discuss it all over again. Finally after literally a week of discussions, our problem seemed to be resolved... however we still weren't quiet the same yet. I think we must have just needed some time after that... time to reconnect with each other, time to laugh, time to be close. So after another (almost) week of that, I finally feel like we have once again reached equilibrium. Back to us. Except for maybe just a little bit better us. Because it is always at this point that I am reminded that though marriage can be hard and challenging at times, it is often through these harder moments that real growth occurs and we come out just a little closer on the other side.
And I have to say, it feels really good to be back to us again. Really good.
