Simply put, Michelle said that marriage isn’t easy and it takes work to make it work.
After all, most people would rather avoidnavigating a divorce in their 20s or 30s, but it happens.
And young people aren’t ready for the real of marriage."
It’s one of the reasons why she is being so transparent about struggles in her marriage.
“Ten years!”
“Do you like him?
“I don’t agree with you, but you’re still a kind, smart person.”
Dealing with discord while parenting young children is definitelya common marriage complaint to which all parents can relate.
“They don’t talk.
They’re poor communicators.
They cry all the time,” Michelle said of children in general.
“They’re irrational.
And you love them more than anything.
And so you might’t blame them.”
That’s why, she added, some parents take their frustration out on each other instead.
Michelle says young people considering marriage should have realistic expectations.
Marriage is about the long haul but there will be several low moments along the way.
“There are times I’m 70, he’s 30.
There are times he’s 60, 40, but guess what?
10 years we’ve been married 30,” Michelle said.
“I would take 10 bad years over 30 it’s just how you look at it.”
