Lovin' Him

Isn't it funny how you sit down to watch a romantic movie and you just begin to love your other half more. At least that happens for me :) I guess I am a sappy little lady and love the romance, so I imagine myself in the movie or try and relate and ya know in a way it really helps me in our little marriage. Sometimes I do that when I am in a bad mood or if the Mr. & I are goin' through a rough patch and sometimes it really helps, well okay so sometimes (because I'm only human people) it can have the opposite effect and I think "why can't he do that, why can't we be like that" and then I'm no better off or even worse than I was, and then of course there's the random object thrown at him...oh okay, so I only imagine doing that ;) j/k. Most of the time though, I really just can't wait till my love comes home so I can give him a big hug after watchin' a romantic movie. He probably thinks to himself "where's this little happy wife coming from??" Not that he has to really think that since I am almost perfectly happy all the time ;) So when he wonders why on earth I watch all these romantic comedies and rolls his eyes, he really has no clue it's actually helping our relationship. Just a thought. Here are some tips that I find help our relationship, at least it helps us. Marriage is never still or perfect, you have to continuously  mold it and change it to keep things fresh and happy!

• put the other person first
• be loving and kind
• be patient and respectful
• sacrifice things for that person
• let each other be an individual
• let go of hurtful things, don't have resentment (hard to do, but great when you achieve it!!)
• listen to each other
• compliment and say nice things to each other continuously
• do lots of random acts of kindness; leave a note, make a special meal, give a gift, make a gift, call um' up and say somethin' really nice, take um' somewhere.
• kiss kiss kiss!!! Nuff' Said....
• follow the golden rule
• remember that no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes, we are here for our other half's to uplift, encourage, and help. Through trials a person learns and grows.
• don't give up, don't take the easy road
• sometimes ya gotta fake it till ya make it; do those nice things even if ya don't feel like it and sometimes it will eventually make ya feel like doing them.
• And of course watch those romantic movies, it's therapy ;)
