Making OUR Marriage Work

Yesterday, my sweet Alex shared his opinion on what it takes to make a marriage work.

Today, I’m going to share mine.

McDaddy and I in NO way have a perfect marriage.

HOWEVER.

We have a great one.

And it’s a great one that I am so thankful for.

I have a good husband. He is the kind of man that does the right thing even when no one is watching. Why he married me I will never know because I am not easy to live with. But I am thankful that he picked me.

Here’s how we make our marriage work…

• Fill his car up when it’s on empty. Even when it’s freezing outside.
• Talk often about finances, child rearing, and problems.
• Do what it takes to agree on finances.
• Leave notes in his luggage before he leaves on a business trip.
• Make his favorite sweet treat (chocolate chip cookies) just because.
• Dance to your wedding song.
• Send him a suggestive text.
• Have a date night.
• Go to church together.
• Share dreams.
• Hold hands.
• Learn how to bite your tongue.
• Learn when to bite your tongue.
• Watch your wedding video.
• Take a weekend trip together.
• Send an e-mail just to say “you’re thinking about him”
• Thank him for working hard.
• Rub his back when he least expects it.
• Forgive. Even when you don’t want to.
• Serve his dinner.
• Laugh together.
• Whisper sweet nothings in his ear. In public.
• Surprise him!
• Go where he wants to go for dinner.
• Plan a special anniversary trip.
• Be interested in his interests.
• Kiss him.
• Pack a lunch and have a picnic. Have one indoors if it’s too cold.
• Cuddle.

Happy Valentine’s Day to my Valentine!
