In a relationship do the things that you appreciated in the beginning, become expectations in the end?

They do become more expected and less appreciated because it's hard to not expect the things you're used to getting, you know? Basically, you start taking one another for granted. I used to ALWAYS thank my husband for the things he did for me but now I have to MAKE a point to thank him! People always say, "You have to work at a marriage" but they don't say WHAT you need to work on. I think this is a great example of something couples have to work on. Big PLUS, Hatedbycoworkers!

Thanks! Maybe this post will remind everyone that we need to remember to appreciate more and expect less in life not just in relationships!

That would be so wonderful-I think it would help many people lives if they started to think in that way;)
