I love the statement from Poduska,"It does not take us long to realize that we do not enter marriage empty handed; we carry a lot of "baggage," with us. " Well how true is that! I think this is true of all relationships, we have baggage. Some of it not bad but some is. He further states that many newlyweds tend to bring to their marriages a fairytale belief in living happily ever after, a belief seemingly based on this supposition: "we have been good. Therefore, only good things will happen to us." I think we all enter into marriage and relationships with the mindset of happily ever after. Sometimes we enter with things not so happy and some things weigh us down because of our knowledge of history and we don;t want it to repeat. When we enter into a union, we have to focus on each other and work towards being each other's,"person."
No matter what we do have baggage, but it is what it is. We have to work together to get the relationship on track with each other and find a balance. Sometimes that is more sacrificing then we like, but it is necessary.
