A lot of date nights, double dates, overnight dates. Sometimes 3 dates a weekend! And most of them were terrible because we were fighting. But with all those opportunities to work on our relationship something happened. It was actually harder to make it not work. Then you were stuck mad for the night or having a major awkward moment in a restaurant. I began to see our fates intermingled. His happiness as my happiness.
(yes, I know some people get this whole concept BEFORE they say they say "I do." But hey, Dr. Phil says "Life's a marathon, not a sprint.")
You know what my very favorite part of this whole 'series' is? You remember finite details about each particular year of your marriage- how you felt, what was happening emotionally, etc. That in itself is flipping impressive.
ReplyDeleteI also love date night!!!
Thanks Megan! Write it down while you can, that is what I am attempting in this series. That is the only reason to blog, in my opinion. Love that we can share this cyber space :)
DeleteLove your words and you! And that you two actively work at marriage.
ReplyDeleteI heard someone say, "I'm a lover AND a fighter." I would like to think that applies to me. Thanks for checking in Kylee, want to come up for Father's Day this year and make it a tradition? :)
DeleteI love your raw honesty. Congratulations on 7 years.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hanging with me, Mary. This series is slow but I think it is good to get it all down for the record book.
DeleteI can't get over the beauty of the pictures combined with your words!
ReplyDeleteYou are too kind, friend.
