21 Years of Marriage and Still Counting

With a common goal, you can learn to work together; giving the meaning “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”.

            In the beginning, we just wanted to be together all the time. When we were apart we were not happy, every single thought revolved around him. It was as if he was made perfectly just for me, so in time we did what most couple does; we got married.

            With every marriage come the ups and downs, the good times and bad; but I can proudly say, even at my angriest time that I have been married almost 21 years. We survived each battle we encounter and sometime we are not very happy, but we if everything was always perfect; life would be very tiresome and boring.

            Over the years spending the day together, shopping or working on any single project was a total disaster. Long ago we decide we would never go to the Mall together, no shopping together became the golden-rule. In the past we worked on a few project but nothing major, since we both had our own way of doing the same thing; so golden-rule number 2, was never to attack the same project together.

            This week something changed, my husband had a huge project to tackle, and I who hates to give up my time; did just that. I gave my husband two days this week and we broke Golden-Rule #1 and #2; we spent two long days, dissembling and reassembling shelves, we packed and he unpacked his supplies, but we working together.

            After these two days, toward the end of we went to the Mall together, made a purchase needed, a purchase that I could care less about, but it was small and it would make him “happy”. We ended these two-day at an ice cream parlor, where we enjoyed some ice cream.

    I agree! Couples do need to spent time together. Then love can grow.
