B and I celebrated 7 years of marriage on Sunday. Seven years already... I am in awe and in love with that. He is truly a great man and I have enjoyed all seven years immensely. I thought I would take this time to share with you what marriage or my hubby himself have taught me:
1) Your spouse should be your best friend. Without that, what do you have to build on?
2) Always give more love today than you did yesterday. We are told we still act like newlyweds... every day still feels like the day I said I do.
3) Thank God for your spouse daily. I know B was part of the plans He has for me.
4) Find your spouse's strengths and learn from them. B has taught me patience. He lives in each moment without worrying about the past or dwelling on the future. His calm is slowly becoming my calm. And on the flip side, I think perhaps my dreaming about where we will be in years to come is slowly rubbing off on him. :)
5) Apologize when you are wrong. If we didn't do that I think we'd have so many caverns in the past 7 years that by now we may not have had enough rope to bridge them.
6) Praise your spouse. Nothing lifts me more than B's love and approval. And nothing feels better than when I can tell him I am truly proud of him.
Marriage is awesome. I am so sad to see people in love and in marriage fall out of it. Personally, we made a promise in front of our families and God and it is one we will always honor. Before we even said "I do" we agreed that "divorce" wasn't in our vocabulary. And over the years we have fought and I have been unreasonable... :) but we are in this together and in love forever. I wish that same feeling for everyone. Because trust me, nothing feels better on this side of Heaven.
