I'm not the foremost expert on being married by
any stretch of the imagination, but I am learning. Sometimes, it's not easy. Nothing worth its
beans ever is easy. These are simply observations that I've noted along life's
path. Also, these are in no particular order.
-Be kind. Always.
-Take your time getting married. Choose the right person who will be your
champion, best friend, lover, and companion.
-Let the person be him/herself. You can't change a person, and if you love them,
don't try. (Only they can change themselves.)
-Communicate!
-Don't play the blame game. Find a solution.
-Give sincere compliments! Thank them for a hard
day at work. Realize they are busting
their hump to make life good for the both of you. There is something to be said
for having a grateful heart.
-Marriage is not disposable. People are not
disposable.
-Listen! It’s easy to tune the world out, even
understandable sometimes, but try to make every effort to listen. It is so
important! (I have been guilty of this with EVERYONE and I vow to work on my
listening skills.)
-Laugh. A lot. It’s good medicine for the soul and good for
couples to be silly and to laugh together.
-Respect each other enough to be vulnerable, to
lay one’s emotions out for the other to see.
This one is hard for me, but I do it in my time.
