My hubby and I have been together five years now and married for three of those wonderful years as of yesterday and each year is better than the last. I thought I’d share some of the tid-bits I’ve come to learn throughout “Year Three” during all of our changes and challenges (buying a house, having a baby, family relocating, friends moving and divorcing, etc.). I love that even after 5 years I’m still learning things about my hubby and our relationship with every new day. Take them as pointers or as funny little extras I don’t care, either way I'm still going to share.
Year Three:
- Always put your marriage 1st—your kids will suffer in a divorce that will not happen if you put your marriage first.
- If you cannot readily recall or remember your last date night…it’s time for another.
- Don’t start fights once you’re in bed…sleep will never come
- Words mean more than flowers, but flowers mean more than nothing
- If by 3 years you’ve never lost a fight…it’s time to. Being right isn’t always alright.
- If after 3 years he still doesn’t fold his socks… he isn’t going to. Give it up because you need to…...(see next)
- Pick your battles…they are not all worth it.
- Hold hands as often as you can
- Always have a WORKING bathroom vent
- Men work best with a “to-do list”
- Wire hangers don’t warrant the energy for a fight, GET RID OF THEM!
- Always try to out-serve each other—you won’t regret it!
- If you have kids, pray over them nightly together, and lastly…
- Pray together often.
MEMO TO MOM: Have more date nights.
