smee2 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Okay, you made it a more-or-less public announcement so I'll make a more-or-less public piece of advice. And this is from someone married twice. The first one lasted five and a half months. The second one lasted almost 35 years. So, what did I learn that I would pass along? Very simple. Be Friends ... Good Friends ... First, Last, and Always. You can be upset with your lover and pout. You can be angry with the handyman you married because of the hideous colour he painted the living room walls. You can fume when you have to ask the neighbour for a ride into town to get to work when your weekend mechanic got the brakes off but didn't get them back on before a friend came over with a 2-4. You can be embarrassed to a deep shade of purple when your husband, trying to keep track of new relatives, leans over and asks ugly aunt Mable is she is the one who had the sex change operation. Or you can be upset with the love of your life when she innocently announces at a family dinner, just as everything goes quiet, that she doesn't wear undies because you don't like them to get in the way, She can aggravate you when you are trying to fix the motorcycle by rearranging pieces you had set out as they came off the frame and now you'll need to go buy a book on how to reassemble it. And the list goes on. Over the years your spouse is going to do and say, or not do and not say, things that will make you want to ... well we won't go there. But you will want to, believe me. You see, a spouse is many things. And each of those attributes comes not only with a blessing, but also a curse. It is entirely possible to love someone and want to smack them at the same time. In those times fall back to the basic. Your spouse is before, during and after everything in your life, your friend.You may be angry at your spouse, but you still love and need and cherish your friend. You may be hurt by some thoughtless remark made by your spouse but even as you feel like crying you still love and need the love of your friend. here will be many times in the coming years when one of the people your spouse is will cause you to become upset, angered, hurt, and a lot of other emotional pitfalls we really don't need to open up. But each time you spouse says or does something you don't like, don't want to deal with, remember your friend. Together you and your best friend can handle anything. Make your spouse your best friend and together you can outdistance any other couple you know. Congratulations on having the courage to ask, and on getting the answer you wanted, and on being so much in love that you just had to share it. That is special. That is a good sign you have the making of a soul-mate friendship Enjoy it. And always remember that even though there are times you don't even want to be in the same room with your spouse, you will always want to be in the arms of your best friend! smee 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muleman Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Elex, Congratulations I wish you the best ! I want to ask you if she loves the Lord ? If she doesn't your married will not make it . I'm not trying to be a dower but it is the truth ! I married when I was 38 years old . I should of waited till I was 80 years old to get married , My marriage lasted almost 6 years . I married a gal that loved the outdoors . We hunted together we did every thing together, it still didn't matter . She was my best friend . I loved her with all my hart, it still didn't matter ! She had been married 3 times before me . I didn't realize she had been married so many times . She left me July 5th 2011 for another man . My mistake was I believed every thing she told me and I did check it out for my self . She was raised by a liberal family . I hope your feint say doesn't come from a liberal family . Guess what I'm trying to say is if you and you partner don't love the Lord your marriage will not make it . Even if you love the Lord and your wife doesn't it will fail ! See religion sets lines in the sand that you don't cross . Wedding vows meant no more to my wife than a new years resolution . New years resolution are broken all the time ! Alex, I wish you the best and I will say a prayer for you and your feint say . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
