I'm Li Qing and I'm 32 years old. I was born into an ordinary family, and my parents were ordinary workers, and they worked hard so that I could get a better education. I am the only child in my family, and I was raised by my parents since I was a child.
My husband Wang Qiang and I were college classmates and met on campus. Our relationship gradually deepened, and after graduation we chose to get married. At first, our married life was very happy and I thought we would be happy forever.
However, as time went on, cracks began to appear in our feelings between us. The pressure of work, the trivialities of life, the responsibilities of family, everything seems to distance us more and more. Communication between me and my husband became less and less and there were even occasional arguments.
Two years ago, we welcomed our daughter Xiaoyu, she is a ray of light in our lives, and we love her very much. But even with children, our relationship did not improve, but became more tense and distant.
While we were in trouble in our marriage, my mother passed away and I had to go home to care for my sick grandmother. Although my grandmother is over 80 years old, her body is still strong and her spirit is strong. I accompanied my grandmother, and I also allowed myself to reflect and think more.
One day, I was busy at home, and my daughter Xiaoyu was playing on the side, and suddenly she asked me, "Mom, grandma, don't you have a home?"
I asked her, "Yu'er, why do you ask that?" She replied, "Because grandma has lived here for so long, there is no grandfather, no uncle and aunt, and no father." I was deeply blown away by her words, I didn't expect her to express her heart in such a way.
I realized that home is not only a physical space, but also an emotional sustenance and belonging. The problems between my husband and I can no longer be ignored and we need to re-examine our marriage and give each other more love and support.
My husband and I had an in-depth conversation, and we were honest about our thoughts and feelings, and we discussed how to rebuild our marriage. We learned to listen to each other more and to be more understanding and tolerant of each other.
After a period of hard work, our marriage finally came back to life. We have regained our love and warmth for each other, and we have learned to cherish and care for our feelings even more. Our family reunited and felt the warmth and happiness of home.
I am deeply grateful for the simple words of my daughter Xiaoyu, and her words saved our marriage. I understand the importance of family, and I cherish our relationship even more. We will always support each other through every stage of life. ❤️
Thank you for your support!
