Growing Up and Becoming Friends: A Newlywed's Testimony

I once read somewhere that Marriage is a crucible in which we learn how to love and become more Christ-like. It's the place in which we find out what we're made of. Every day I am learning how very true that is in my own marriage. My husband and I tied the knot last June and after we said “I do” and returned from the honeymoon it became quite apparent that I wasn't the person I thought I was going to be in marriage. Before we were married I viewed (or even prided) myself as someone who was extremely selfless, loving, kind, patient, compassionate, giving, etc, etc, etc. And once the rubber met the road I felt like the Lord was holding a mirror up in front of me and for the first time I was seeing this other side of me. It wasn't that I wasn't loving or kind but at times I had a tendency to be self-seeking and completely oblivious to my husband's needs. “Oh my, I'm selfish? That can't be right.” I thought, “I serve in my church, I pay my tithes and I...” I, I, I and I. Again, it was all about me but the thing I love about my husband is that he has never rubbed any of this in my face. In fact all he did was love me through this self realization.
