Take our President and First Lady
MSNBC analyst Richard Wolffe is releasing a book entitled Renegade. It entails the journey during Obama's run for Congress back in 2000. With help from the Huff Post:
Wolffe writes that Michelle Obama “hated the failed race for Congress in 2000, and their marriage was strained by the time their youngest daughter, Sasha, was born a year later.”
“There was little conversation and even less romance,” Wolffe writes. “She was angry at his selfishness and careerism; he thought she was cold and ungrateful.”
When Obama ran for the Senate in 2004, his wife still had mixed feelings about her husband’s love of politics, and played no part in the campaign, the book says.
By the time Obama decided to run for president, the couple’s two children were older and Michelle Obama was more supportive.
“We’re going to be fine,” the book quotes her as saying. “We just have to make sure the girls are fine. We’re strong enough to take anything on and be OK at the end.”
The mere fact they could've ended the race then [like majority of couples when they hit a snag/roadblock] but didn't, shows their spirits. Some could say they did it for the kids, but alot of couples don't even care about that anymore. That's why they're the people and the couple we see before us today.
You can't let things that bother you NOW deter you from the future you could/should have.
Nine times out of 10 the thing you're bitching about is something you knew about beforehand, but because you're married you think the world should jump.
Rings and a grand ceremony won't change the person unless said person was willing to change in the first place...and if you believed that - you shouldn't of gotten married in the first place.
Basically my ramble in simple terms is...Anything worth having takes hard work, dedication, patience, and understanding...
If your significant other means that much to you...you'll make sure they stick around no matter what...
