This is true love…

My husband and I are not the most romantic people in this world. I am hopeful that 2013 may change that around for us. We will be celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary in a couple of weeks and I am trying to pull something together to surprise him. Hopefully, I can work it out.

Even though he is not the most romantic, I consider this true love. Obviously, it has been really cold here in the mountains. We are trying to not use much propane as it is very expensive and we went through $1800 worth of propane last year. This cannot happen this year, so we have been using portable heaters to warm the house. Since, we do not really have any heat in the bathrooms, it can get downright cold. The other night after dinner, I was finishing up the dishes and he asked if I was going to take a shower. He said you might want to go ahead since we could lose power. We had a high warning in effect. As I finished getting my pj’s together, I walked into the bathroom and was immediately in awe. The bathroom was so warm and cozy. My husband had moved the portable heater in the bathroom to warm the room before I got in there. I just smiled. Now, that is love. It may not be romantic to others, but it is to me. I told him, you are not the most romantic but that really touched my heart. He just smiled!

It is the little things that can add up in a marriage. The little surprises that catch your spouse off guard. I am thinking of my little surprise for him.

How can you make your marriage last?

Obviously, as you know with my faith, I will say to have God in your family…. but that is not all. You see, my husband and I have been together 11 years now. There is one thing that keeps us close. Check out our text messages the other day.

Me: Hey honey, I am so sorry about being short last night. Just all the stress lately.

Him: Don’t worry about it babe. I have been short all my life. Love you!

He knows how to make me smile. Why yes.. I am about a 1/2 inch taller than my husband and he loves to tell me even in text messages. Humor is what gets us through so many stressful days. If we laugh about it, then we are not worrying or crying. It just works for us. There are times when you do not have to take everything serious. Let your hair down so to speak and make lemonade out of lemons. My husband knows when I am stressed or down and out… to break the ice. Make a joke or turn a negative situation into something funny. In return, if he is stressed out from work.. I will blurt out a goofy song, say a corny joke and we all just laugh together.

I am so thankful God sent me a humorous husband. He completes me and I look forward to him making me laugh. I’m pretty sure, my husband looks forward to me making him laugh. Even though, I have a lot of book smarts… common sense is not always there. For instance, I wanted to know how to get this spot out of the shower. My husband says, oh just a little elbow grease. I said… oh where would I get that at? Yes, my friends I thought you could buy elbow grease. He has not let me live that down since.

Laughter will get you through so much!
