I had the amazing opportunity to watch the Disney classic, "Sleeping Beauty,"with my children for family movie night a few weeks ago. I guess I loved fairy tales since I was little, and so watching my seven-year-old daughter’s delight, as the prince fights evil Malificent’s dragon, was pretty cool.
But I tend to toss aside the fairy tales now in the trenches of being a soldier’s wife, and can often drown in the feeling of being solo with the kids at home. If I am honest. Yet, I know my active-duty, oft-deployed, husband is a gift from God. But, still, I can wrestle, like many, with the whole marriage “fairy tale,” or “happily ever after.”
