My Marriage Thoughts
It’s been almost another year of my marriage to Daniel. We were married in May of 2006. So… that’s 3 years! During our three years we’ve had ups, downs, side-to-sides (LOL) etc. I guess that means we are normal. Whoot!
Here’s my thoughts on Marriage, and remember it’s coming from a gal that said:
“I’m never gonna get married again!”
1. When the hubby says “nothing is wrong” – leave it be. If the hubby wants to discuss his issue, he will – when he’s ready. Remember, it’s *his* issue – not yours.
2. When the wifey is angry at the hubby and refuses to explain in detail what has upset her, how to correct it – if it should be corrected, what it means to her – then expect that same issue to come creeping up again. How will the hubby know if you just “expect” the hubby to figure it out? Wifey didn’t marry a mind reader – nor did she marry a woman – he’s a man, explain it all in detail! Remember – it’s wifey’s issue not his.
3. Give love – Give respect – Give thanks always when you think of it. How will it come back to you if it’s not given?
4. Remember why you fell in love with him – it brings a smile to your face each time.
5. If wifey comes home in a great mood and he doesn’t – ignore it (see #1) – maybe wifey’s happiness will leak out into the space around him
6. If hubby is in a great mood and wifey doesn’t feel like smiling – rub on him – (LOL) maybe it will wear off on wifey (see #4)
7. Remember – always – love is beautiful and haggard looking at times, be thankful you are partners and you picked the best one for you.
Well, I for one am thankful and I’m learning as I go how to be a partner instead of an independent. Are there any thoughts anyone else has? Any lists you may have to deal with a partner or a spouse?
Love and Light and happy Spring Flowers on Earth Day!

Thank you so much!
Awww… I can’t remember much of life without Bryan. I am so thankful for him everyday. He’s like a big teddy bear. When I get home this weekend I think I will make a list like this. We’re coming up on almost four years together but one year of marriage. He’ll be home in 8 days! woot!
Penny’s last blog post..Myspace rears it’s ugly head!
Oh my gosh he’s coming home in 8 days!!!! Yeah!!! Whoot!
You should make a list, I’ll look for it!
Yes the top thought is the most important.
“I’m never gonna get married again!”
Sami
LOL!
Okay, that was the Prequel eh?
What a kind and thoughtful person you are. Me? I just kick the crap out of him.

Hugs and thanks for the comment!!
I’ve been married to the same man for 32 years and I love him more now than the day we got married. We can fight with the best of them and although the number of the fights have lessened, their intensity hasn’t lessened at all. Most of the time fighting is just another method of communication (albeit not a good method). Always remember that you are two different people with 2 different backgrounds and thoughts and you are coming together to forge one life – it’s hard! When it got hard and I thought maybe I wanted to give up and give in I thought – have there been more good days than bad? I always stayed and I’m glad I did as the best was yet to come.
Mamaflo’s last blog post..32 Years of Wedded Bliss
Mamaflo that was wonderfully put. I know of folks that get married, assume the other person is going to CHANGE to meet their needs, and then divorce when they don’t CHANGE enough. It’s amazing to me. You don’t change a person, afterall – if someone doesn’t like who they are then don’t marry them.
We have had our “discussions” as well. Two stubborn heads fighting it out. Ahhh… but I love him so. Disagreements just means we have kept who we are in tact – IMHO.
Thank you so much for your thoughts and ideas. 32 Years! Whooooot! Awesome.
Hugs Mama!
I had a brief marriage that lasted for two years. That was 10 years ago and I’ve been single this entire time. I’ve been an “independent” so long I’m not sure if I would know how to be a partner. Of course, if my track record for singleness keeps up with the pace of the last decade I don’t think I’ll have to worry about learning how to be a partner.
Hi Cindy! You said “I’m not sure if I would know how to be a partner”, and I have to tell you I had the same thought. I’m still learning truly and it’s almost 3 years.
There are days I sure miss my being “independent”. I just thought it was interesting you said the very same feeling I had as well.
Thank you so much for commenting!
For me, marriage is combining two things that are not the same. Like combining oil with water in a cup, and the cup = marriage.
