What's on my mind...


This may be too mushy gushy for some of you but bare with me... I love my husband, not the " I love you" before you hang up the phone "I love you" but the madly in-love, butterflies in the stomach kind of love. I am sharing this because I have been around more couples lately that either can't make it work, have been divorced then re-married, or are single and looking for love. I am realizing just how lucky I am. I absolutely adore my husband and he makes me feel like I'm the only woman in the world for him. So don't wait to tell your spouse how you feel, life is far to short to worry and fuss about the stuff and details of your life. Don't let your marriage get pushed to the back burner, because if that falls apart, the rest of your life starts to go with it. If that kind of love has been lost between you and your spouse I strongly encourage you to fight like hell to get it back. Find ways to surprise each other, date each other like you would if you had only met a few times, have fun and play for cryin' out loud! When did being married mean you have to be sedentary with your relationship? Being married is better than I ever dreamed it would be because we both make a strong effort to make each other feel special. And believe me, we fight! Fighting should and will happen if honesty ( and in our case stubbornness) is part of your marriage. Just be constructive in what is said and not hurtful, and always find a way to compromise. Matt is my best friend then husband. I think too many couples loose sight of why they fell in love in the first place. Love is the most important part of my life and there is no other feeling in the world like being in love and knowing that person loves you back in the same way. So...that's what's on my mind...Love!

Well said, Tricia. I can only pray that I have that type of love someday, and I am grateful you and Matt have it.

Just for the record that last comment is not from me. I have already gotten calls from people assuming that it was me. (just so you know).

Also, for the record, I am happy that you two have such a great relationship. In spite of everything that is going on right now, seeing the two of you together gives me something to aspire to. I love you both very much...

I totally understand where you are coming from. Putting these kinda thoughts down for all to read is an great thing. I also have that kinda relationship with Jenni, and it has lasted 29+ years!!! Never forget why you got married in the first place and you will be just fine... Matt.. Great job.. You are a very lucky man, never forget that!

I loved this blog! While we are great friends with you and can tell that you and Matt love each other, its just so great to see that what we perceive is real and true! So often people put up a front and try to make things look perfect when in fact they are crappy! You and Matt are an example of marriage the way God intended it - full of love, compromise, and working through the little "fights".
We love you guys and are so happy you are our bestest buds!
