Marriage Relationships

This is my 2nd marriage and my forever marriage.  We can say that we truly know each other after being together meeting over 23 years ago.  He gets me. He understands me totally. I get him and understand him. We did not get each other totally when we met but after all this time, we really do now.  

It took probably the first 10 years to really solidify our love.  Years of difficulty and trying times from outside sources mostly. But we got through it because we were committed to each other.  He saw how much I appreciated him and all he did.  He was and is our bread winner.  I never thought he should come home and do more work in the house and so I made sure he had dinner on the table, the house was decent and laundry was done. I worked on and off most of these past 21 years married, mostly independent jobs and business but he supported me and that made it so much more special.  

The most important thing we all can to do is respect and support our spouse when it comes to making decisions.  The husband and wife need to work together in all decisions and be sure that you both are on the same page, whatever page that is.  We were able to communicate with each other daily so there was hardly ever any surprises.  I wanted him to be happy so I gave him my all. He wanted me to be happy so he gave me his all. That’s what is comes down to in a nut shell. 

If you are upset and feel that you are doing more than your supposed share, have a conversation with your spouse about it in a loving way.  Don’t allow yourself to build up disappointment. Direct Communication is key.  Remember why you decided to get married.
