This week's reading has been great and impacted my life in a way I find it hard to believe. I did a lot of evaluation and self introspection. Growing up as a last-born made me to be a little bit inconsiderate of other people. When I was in my teen years, my siblings had already moved out of my parent's house. I was left with my mother and that made me to think of myself only. My mom shared with me with almost anything she had. When my siblings visited they did the same thing of sharing with me only. Whereas my husband was an older brother to his siblings. He basically was forced to share and he learned that at a younger age.

Getting married became a different dynamic for me. I had to be considerate and learn to share and make sacrifices, which was not easy. I remember, we would draw up a budget and then I would have to go and do the shopping. I used to buy what I wanted and liked. Did not think of him at all. Do my hair and buy myself clothes. This one time, he politely told me how he felt about me not thinking of him. I explained to him why I did that and he helped me on how to be a better sharer. I also learned about making sacrifices in marriages. For me I sacrificed my dreams, I wanted to study in a varsity and stay on campus. Because I got married before I went to a university, I changed my goals. It did not feel right to be separated from my husband. I had to change my dream career choice and choose something less demanding. I am a stay at home wife because his job requires him to travel a lot. Sacrificing these things was not easy but very rewarding and I wouldn't change them. Though at first, I felt like I had no longer have a purpose. I love how marriage taught me to be considerate and be more selfless, it truly is rewarding no regrets whatsoever. 

So friends any sacrifices you had to make or what marriage has taught you?
