I decided that I wanted to do something slightly different for today's blog. I met my mate when I was 14 years old. We started dating when I was 17. We got married when I was a week away from 22.... I was young and thought I knew everything and was seriously ill-prepared to be somebody's wife AND to be 500 miles away from everything and everyone I've ever known and loved. So, almost 19 years later, people are constantly shocked when I say I've been married to the same man all these years. The 1st thing I want to say is ANYBODY that you think has a perfect marriage, please know it ain't true! I love my husband beyond measure. We have an amazing relationship. Amazing doesn't equal perfect or good all the time. We fuss. We disagree. We get in our feelings. He gets on my last nerve sometimes. I'm sure I sometimes get on his (probably not that much though...LOLOL). I could write a book on our experiences, but I thought it would be nice to get marriage talk from the male perspective. So I asked my honey to jot down some thoughts on love and marriage. Short and concise is what he gave me, however I can honestly say these words and actions are what brought us through.....
"Marriage is about making it work with what you have and who
you are. What works for one couple may
not work for another. But if I had to
pick one thing I would say in marriage, each person has to be determined. Determine to carry the weigh when your spouse
cannot or will not. Be determined to do
better when you are the weak link.
Determined to make it work when you realize that your spouse will not
change who they are. This does not
include physical abuse, infidelity or the like.
When you say I do, mean it and keep in mind ‘for better or for worse’ comes in many ways and different than what we usually consider. "

Well, TrelleBlazers, that's it for today. Until next time, be good to yourselves (and to those you love and are in love with!)
Muah and much Love,
