- Getting up at 5:45 on a Saturday to make sure your kids are ready for the church trip to Hershey is a good thing. It would be a better thing if you could fall back to sleep after they leave.
- Waking up next to your husband with no plans and no kids is definitely a wonderful thing!
- Getting into an argument with your husband a couple hours later that lasts until Sunday afternoon is no way to spend a day without kids!
- Having an eye exam and getting new contacts is right up my alley! Now I can’t find my sunglasses. UGH!
- I love my nephew. Got to spend a few hours with him.
- Because of the argument, I spent some time with my best friend. Mall and a movie at her house. That was something we hadn’t done in a long time.
- My momma is great at marital advice. I loveth her.
- I should get a medal for not saying everything that popped into my head.
- I definitely live on Venus. He definitely lives on Mars!
- Marriage is hard work. VERY HARD. But it’s worth it.

I feel your energy between your words. This is great.
Greetings from Germany and happy relaxed weekends.

Thanks, Ursula!
Amen to that… and being a dude I admit we are from two different worlds! Been married 17yrs and going through with my better half but I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm commited to this and it is hard work, it's also like an investment on both parts. I've put a lot in and I know she has too, and you (both parties) expect a lot out. My advise – and I don't wish my situation on nobody – be honest, no matter how the other person may take it, communicate with each other "well", but most importantly put GOD first… you can't go wrong (well not too much, because we be hardheaded sometimes
Still seems like you had a good weekend though. Stay up and stay strong.
Also keep me on lock, RSS me! peace
Thanks Eddie. Yeah…we do the communication thing and we're honest, but sometimes anger keeps a person from hearing what is actually being said. God definitely HAS to be first, because if He wasn't, none of this would end well! LOL
I'll RSS ya….
We've been married for 14 years and I'll admit we have both had our ummm disagreements. The hardest and yet best part of being married are getting through those very things. Honestly I think the first 5 years of any marriage are your hardest, that first one especially since you move in together and get to learn about each others quirks and sometimes those are the bad things you hate about the other person but remember what makes you love them too. Always communicate but know that sometimes it is best to just walk away and maybe write a note expressing yourself. I'm one that doesn't use my words but I can write them down beautifully on how I feel to get my point across. Never, EVER keep all your thoughts and feelings inside, eventually they'll all come undone and it could end it all.
It does sound like even though there was a disagreement you still had fun, spent time with a friend/movie and got to spend quality time with your nephew. As a newlywed (even those of us that aren't tend to do this next thing) you may not realize it but you tend to spend a lot of time with your other half and stop seeing all your old pals. You may want to make sure you both spend a bit of time with old pals.
So what movie was it? I've been watching Bones on Netflix.

I do stop talking once I see that it's getting us nowhere. He hates when I do that, but I do it for both of our sakes. I really should never talk when I'm angry or in response to his anger. It's at these times that TEXT MESSAGES work! LOL I think having to slow down and read what the other person is really trying to say helps a lot!
The movie was Tooth Fairy. The Rock looks good whether he's in regular clothes or tights! He is truly a beautiful man.
I can't even imagine how hard marriage is…but glad you're working through the tougher times!
My recent post Logical Conclusions
Girl..I thought I could imagine…but it's way harder than I thought!
Marriage is SO worth it! No two people will always agree, but being able to work through it makes the relationship stronger. You learn what the hot buttons are so you come up with solutions before they get out of hand, you agree to disagree and you learn everything is not worth saying.
But it sounds like the bonus was a mall and movie trip! Nothing like the two "m"s to make a girl feel better…

Hey Towanda! Yeah….I'm learning some things about him for sure. Part of being a newlywed, right? And I'm saying: I haven't had a mall and movie day in MONTHS!
