A couple of months ago I shared something that still gives me butterflies, even after years of marriage.
I’ve been told that the butterflies that are felt in the the beginning stages of a relationship, will disappear when a marriage has fully matured.
That the butterflies will fly away, as they are replaced with things like deeper trust and maturity.
I’ve heard this many times before and although I disagree, I can understand where this thought process is coming from; relationships do evolve.
My heart doesn’t always stop when my hand unintentionally brushes my husband’s throughout the day. When I hear his voice, my stomach doesn’t always leap into my chest, the way it once did.
Things are different now, and being together can start to seem ordinary instead of exciting.
But I still believe in butterflies.
The butterflies are always there. But sometimes, you have to work to make them flutter.
