Is the facade of instant happiness ruling your marriage? This self-serving attitude of what’s owed to you.
We all can agree that relationships take work, especially marriage. But when you want to compound the idea that every day should be a happy day, you’re asking for trouble.

In today’s society, we walk around with this complex that the world should revolve around our happiness. And if something or someone isn’t fulfilling that “right” to happiness, then it needs to change. Because you should feel happy.
The facade of instant happiness follows the traits of instant gratification. We want what we want NOW! It’s this drive-thru mentality in life.
It’s all about you; you being the center of attention, you being the center of the universe. Everything revolves around you.
So when your marriage is having difficulties, you want to pressure cook it and have all the problems melt away. You want that instant happiness.
But you just can’t “instant pot” or pressure cook a marriage in 5 minutes and think everything is going to be alright.
Change takes time!
If you and your spouse are having struggles in your marriage,
- financial disagreements, budgetary concerns (taxes are around the corner)
- how you spend your free time
- daily responsibilities
- intimacy in the bedroom
- “what about me” syndrome
all of these things, you cannot fix them overnight!
Yet you want this instant happiness.
The facade of instant happiness will kill your marriage.
You, as a couple, are a team. And that means you must play on the same team!
The K.I.S.S. ~ Play on the same team!
Don’t get yourself so bent out of shape when your spouse doesn’t bow to your every request.
Don’t get mad at your husband because he didn’t do exactly what you told him.
Don’t shut your wife out, because she isn’t available at your beckon call.
Play on the same team!
- Make choices that serve each other.
- Choose how you feel.
- Sacrifice what should be for what is now.
Marriage is compromise. Marriage is sacrifice. Marriage is love.
How much are you willing to give up to play on the same team?
Marriage is a team. It takes work to build a strong team.
Drop the facade of instant happiness.
“Look into the eyes of the one you love and choose each other.”
