About Relationship Living In Marriage

Keep the fire going!

In dealing with women each week, several times I have been asked to tell about the many many years I have in relationship living in marriage. Okay, here's my encouragement:

I'm sixty-five.
I spent some of the years of my marrige expecting my husband to be more like me.
I spent the next ten years resenting that he wasn't.
Young women - and that's those of you under sixty - don't do that.
That's not living; that's drudgery.
You want to live. You don't want to drudge. Trust me!
Understand your man and get on with life!

Make it your goal to know what his pet peeves are. Then honor them and him definitely! Don't make him a project. If you want a project, take up knitting! Please him. If he likes a clean house, clean it up. I make it a point to have laughter in our marriage. Laughing for the pure joy of laughing. And laughing again and again! It's a great connection with him! Laughter is the exclamation point put on life! I'll put out some tid-bits in my blog. After forty-one years of marriage I definitely have some encouragement. All I ask is don't get a critical spirit of your husband.....honor, praise, and be grateful for him.
