Oh I realized this is my 20th anniversary of happily married persons
Wow I have been married 20 years and still going strong. I married my friend. I said "you pick the date I don't care" so he chose August 31, 20 years ago. Why that date? It was a Blue Moon and he wanted to do something spectacular on a Blue Moon so he got married. This August guess what? It's a Blue Moon!!! We didn't plan that we just noticed it. So we need to do something looney for our anniversary. What I dunno yet. Dead blank on ideas since we live in a cow town and few good restaurants.
But I can honestly say, I am so happy I married my husband. It's been a good marriage. We planned a good life and retirement which will come one day. We are happy in general. We know we can't maintain this place forever and we have to hire help outside but it's a blessed place to live. I am very thankful.
We are asked all the time how we keep a marriage alive. We said, "well we married our best friend and we don't make demands that are selfish of each other, we give each other space and try not to let an argument go out of hand and we attempt and usually succeed in reconciling".
I have learned to trust and become giving more. He has always been giving and learned to let me have my breathing space. I am quirky in that at times I need alone time but I think that is an artist's trait. Thankfully he writes stories so we match nicely.
I hope all of you have a special someone in your life that lifts your spirits up too.
smiles,
Monika
