Yep. You guessed it. There is talk of wedding bells. I think even from the very start there has been talk of wedding bells. Being a Singleton you are normally in one of two boats. The boat that’s just for fun. You know I want to date you because you are fun to be with, and I’m along for the ride, as long as its fun. or The marriage boat. You know, the one where you are all tied down and do laundry all day, cook, and look after the kids. In the later case, you are always checking your list to see if the other person is marriage material. Marriage is brought up early when you are older, I think.
Well I’ve decided that I’m in both boats, and I’m not going to get injured from another boating accident.
I want it all. I want to be a wife and girl friend. I want the ring and the dates. I want the romance, and cooking dinner for the kids. Why can’t I have it all?
The purpose of this blog was to record my love story. I guess I didn’t think that far in advance to start. Sometimes its work to be romantic. You get settled with the other person, and it doesn’t matter if they know that you pee in the shower.
Nope I’m no expert on relationships, so don’t take my advice on anything to do with them. I will say that I am an expert on relationships that don’t work. Now I’m finding ways to make my relationship work.
What if I was married and in a few years I felt neglected? In the past, I haven’t known how to head that off. I’ve just gotten mad and let it come to a big fight or worse. Now I really want to find ways to head those fights off at the pass. I want Scott to be reminded every day how much I love him, appreciated him and respect him. I know that Scott has to play this game too, and I’m sure that he will.
I’m shamelessly stealing this phrase from Love, Actually.
After all, marriage (and every relationship for that matter) is about give and take……And remember, dating is cheaper than marriage counseling!
