I'm late with this one. I dropped my laptop two days ago and I've been focused on getting everything backed up before I lose everything to slippery fingers!
My current relationship: I have been married to the same man for going on 41 years now (March 6th). It's been rocky at times but we find that the best method of staying together is two fold: 1) put God first in your life 2) commitment. Well, maybe three fold: 3) don't fret the small stuff...it takes two to tango. You think he's a lousy husband? He probably thinks you're a lousy wife! Try walking in the other person's shoes occasionally. I read a book once "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" a book written by American author, and relationship counselor, John Gray. An interesting secular book on the differences between men and women. Not one to leave on the coffee table, however. ;o) Men are so different from women but us women still tend to try to make them more like us! It will never happen! Get over it! He's not going to understand why we are crying. He's not going to understand why we take forever to pick out a pair of shoes....he will get in--pick one--get out! And no, he is never going to ask for directions. A relationship is what you make of it and what you are willing to contribute. Sometimes I think the grass might have been greener on the other side, but I'm not willing to scale the fence. It too will require water and fertilizer to stay green. :)

This is a really interesting blog my dear. Now I must compliment you on how "deep" your words are today. You hit the nail on the head again my friend. I loved how you described the differences between them and us. I think you are growing into these blogs. (o:
