All of these interesting keys still basically fall under communication, which is so important!! Enjoying and having fun with things we can laugh about with my new husband from our wedding day of March 28th.
Being tolerant of each other’s level of crazy - Felix and Oscar, early bird and night owl. My husband is so organized, I’m ‘comfortable’ with a little clutter. We’re definitely “The Odd Couple” in more ways than one!
Give and accept compliments - the other day, my darling husband called me beautiful and sexy, and I didn’t know what to say 😍. I adore his beautiful blue eyes, his laugh and his height, and tell him so. He wears favorite items for me.
Look out for each other. If he sees me looking for anything online, he will try to find a good deal for me. It’s so nice to have him handle stuff I don’t have to anymore, like the house and the car. I also found something he had been looking for. He was so grateful and I was happy I could do that for him.
My way is just different, not necessarily better. He does things other than how I would. This is one I am still having some trouble with, but I’m working on it. I felt bad when he once said he couldn’t do anything right (i.e. the way I wanted it done) and I never want him to feel that way again. I apologized and let him do things his way. Bottom line, it got done. And, of course it was just fine!!
Be willing to try new things - I’m vegan but he’s not, even though he’s willing to enjoy this lifestyle, and likes the health aspects. I also have to remember that just because I’m not hungry doesn’t mean that he isn’t! We both have a sweet tooth though, but make healthier dessert choices. He likes politics and blues music, I’m okay with that because that’s who he is. ❤️
And last but not least - Bedtime doesn’t always mean sleep 😂 We also agreed on no TV in the bedroom. Adult nap time on a weekend is wonderful.
There are lots more fun challenges we’re having but working through together with love.
Wonderful married life to you all!
