You're the one for me, Babe!
August 18th marked another year in this adventure called marriage. This year I felt like I did a good job not taking things personally. Life is hard and families are stressful but thoughtless comments or frustrated sighs are not dominating my thoughts like they used to. I am very sensitive and I am not ashamed, in fact, I think of it like a superpower.
(Glennon at Momastery, writes all about this.) I balanced this against living with five loud and outspoken males way better this year. Another not so lovey dovey idea to put on a marriage post is solitude. I need it. I enjoy it. This year I tapped into that and saw it deepen my relationships all around.
Matt shows up for me in the sweetest ways. My current favorite romantic gesture is when he goes in my place to parent meetings that drain me. I know, it's pretty steamy in here! ;) We have killer dates with wonderful food and he makes me laugh. (Hopefully that is how we will survive the election this fall.)
We went to a Bethel Worship Night last week and really grabbed onto the lyrics from the song
"Pieces." The love of a good God, I want to love like that.
