Being Married is not Easy

Thursday, July 21st, 2011

This last Sunday my husband Kevin and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. We spent it doing something we truly enjoy and that was camping with our boys. We had a great time and it was really nice.

I’ll tell you being with the same person for 18 years takes a lot of work. It’s not as easy as some people may think. You have to work on it every single day because when you don’t it’s not going to work and it could potentially end in a divorce.

When I met Kevin 21 years ago I never would have thought we’d be married and have two boys. I never would have thought that he’d give me everything I ever want and need and I never would have thought we’d have so many wonderful things.

Last year at this time we were in Kauai for our 20th year together. We had a wonderful time and it was so relaxing to be there. While we didn’t get to spend our 18th anniversary there, being on the mountain in our new camp trailer was just as fun. We had steaks and potatoes one night and hamburgers another night. It was the best.

We’ve had our struggles, but I would really have to say we’ve had more happy times. We love to be together and we both have the same interest. I love going camping and spending time with him. Just being with him is all I need to do. We don’t have to do anything fancy to have a good time.

One thing I can tell you is while my marriage isn’t perfect, I’m still as much in love with my husband now as I was when we were dating 20+ years ago. He is my soulmate and I love him so much. I wouldn’t trade him for anything in the world. I love you Kevey!

Do you Work on Your Marriage Everyday?

Monday, June 13th, 2011

This is not something most couples think about, but when they do, they’re surprised when they realize most days they don’t work on their marriage. It’s not easy to do at times, but it’s a must if you want it to work and be successful.

Marriage is not as easy as most single people seem to think it is. It takes a lot of hard work and both people involved must work at it each and every day. You must spend time together and you must spend time a part in order for it to have success.

You must also realize you will have arguments, but that happens. It’s nothing to worry about as you will get through it. The best thing to do during these times is to work through it together. Don’t drag it on and on and on. Say what you have to say and move on. Whatever you do, don’t drill on the argument at hand, just let it go.
