One of the goals
on my Lent list (related to personal reflection) this year is to share more positive
thoughts and work on giving thanks for all my blessings! I’m spending some time focusing on the positives of my
relationships, event planning, this blog, my spiritual life and so many other
parts of my day-to-day! I was recently reflecting on
what marriage means to me and wanted to share!
To
me marriage means, having a partner in crime, faith, and love for life!
Commitment to putting my husband’s well-being, desires, and needs above my own
(most times). Sharing DVR space! Joining in a holy union before God (and the
State of Georgia) and devoting my time, attention and resources to helping that
grow and succeed. Marriage means, agreeing to change my social media status
from single to married! Learning how to
say I’m sorry and mean it! Hard work with amazing rewards but occasional
frustrations. Marriage means a lifetime of birthdays, holidays, and fun
times with my best friend. It means, having a live-in recipe
taster, sounding board, and jar opener. Marriage is about being a student and
steward of companionship, communication, forgiveness, and support. Marriage to
me means the building block and foundation of our family. It means taking
action (not just having emotion), giving freely, and being generous to and
for each other. Marriage means acceptance and tolerance of self and your
partner. Tender love and care in the form of affection. Trying to be the best
we (and me) possible. It means cost-benefit analysis and democratic decision
making. It means listening without judgments and loving without limits. It is
the merging of families, friends, and Christmas party schedules. It means
trusting in all aspects of your relationship. Marriage means sharing car and
health insurance, bank accounts, and tax professionals. It means decades
with my cuddle buddy, kick-a** real estate agent, great eye candy, bear
hugging, cleaning obsessed, tech support, action-movie loving, joke telling,
needle fearing, gentlemanly, great dad in the making, grocery carrying,
Steelers fanatic, lead foot having, northern-born better
half.
I love you B. Scott thank you for being in my life♥
