We have the kind of marriage that I dreamed about when I was young. A loving, kind, appreciative husband. One who thinks I'm a talented writer. One who laughs at my jokes, and at my crazy singing and dancing. One who listens (when I tell him "I need your attention. This is really important!") One who holds me when I'm sad and need comforting. One who is darn near perfect....
(a story I wrote about our relationship, "Through the Years" is included in this Chicken Soup for the Soul anthology. Published in December 2007. Page 94)

I often hear groups of long term couples talking about their marriages and doing a one-upmanship ritual--
ReplyDeletePerson #1--"We've been married 20 years."
Person #2 "That's nice, we went to Hawaii for our 25th last year."
Person #3--"Only 25? we're at 30 next year."
To them I say,"A silver anniversary is not a merit badge happiness."
And then I ask, "So, are you whining or bragging?"
But to you,Becky, and 'The Ronald'
I say,"Congrats! Keep on lovin' thru the livin'."

Some people do not see the good qualities in their spouse as much as the little annoyances. How blessed you both are to welcome each day with your appreciation of the other.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary.
