Ok, on to more important stuff. Saturday is Jace and I's 6 year anniversary.
6th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
Traditional Anniversary Gift: Candy
Modern Anniversary Gift: Iron
Iron? Do supplements count?
Anyways,usually we don't do much for our anniversaries, get each other a card or flowers and call it a day. But this year we are going out and little munchkin is staying home with Grandma, and for about three hours, I am not going to be a mom, just a wife. It's going to be fun. So far our marriage has been great. Granted we've gone through some rough times, but seriously, who hasn't? The important thing, and the element that's different, we got through it and are still married. I attribute that to our parents. My parents are still married (31 years) and so are Jace's (27 years). Jace and I have had great models to watch and learn from while growing up. We've learned what it takes to make a marriage last years on years on years, it's just up to us to executed what we've learned. And now that we have a family together, it's like the knot that marriage tied, has gotten tighter, it's triple tied.
So for every married and/or person in a serious relationship, what do you think is the reason you are still with your significant other? What has kept you together? Pulled you through the bad times holding hands still?
Congrats on 6 years of marriage!!! That is awesome!! I think what has kept us together and helped us the most is learning that just because we may disagree, it doesn't have to be an arguement. We are ALWAYS able to have a discussion about things that are bothering us. No yelling, name calling, just expressing your point of view. In the end, if we still don't agree, we just don't agree. The love we share is amazing. And now we have 2 beautiful babies that have brought us even closer. Watching him be a daddy to our girls makes me love him so much more. I think the most important thing is that each person has to be totally committed to the other, even if things aren't the greatest at that moment.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Happy 6 year anniversary! I love the pic of you two, you are so beautiful Larissa!
ReplyDeleteKevin and I have been together almost 5 years and I think my role model was my grandparents. They knew eachother their whole life and grew old together, she passed away last month but they were married almost 50 years. I took alot of advice from her.
Kevin and I are so much alike its scarey. I don't really know what has kept us together besides love, honesty, trust, and faithfulness. Sometimes we just agree to disagree and thats that.
Happy Anniversary! I caught your blog today and had to comment because this is a subject dear to me. I think what works for us is always remembering that we are on the same team, not opposite teams. When it's money trouble or things going wrong we try to make it us against it instead of fighting with eachother. It brings you closer together when you try to get though it on the same side and that way you are always on the winning team. :) I can't believe I will have been married to my bff for 4 years in January! It's been totally awesome.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!! John I will have been married 4 years this October 31st. We've been together a total of 9 years. We definitely have a deep love for each other but we also keep each other up emotionally and try to take things on together rather than separately.
ReplyDeleteAs Edward said in Twilight "You're like my own personal brand of heroin" LMAO!
