Wedded Bliss Wednesday
I love talking about my marriage and my husband because frankly, they both kick ass. So, I'm linking up with Kay to talk about them.
If you could give one piece of advice to any married (or soon-to-be married) couple, what would it be?
Listen to things that are spoken out loud, as well as things that aren't said aloud. Both are equally important.
What is an absolute MUST for any marriage/relationship?
I'd say that both spouses need to be looking in the same direction and have the same goals. If one spouse is okay with being sedentary, but the other spouse wants to move up (or around) in life, there's bound to be issues.
What is the #1 no-no in a marriage?
Besides the obvious, I'd say giving up. You married the person for a reason. A fight, an argument, etc., shouldn't change the fact that you love the person with every ounce of your being. Fight for your spouse. Fight for your marriage. Fight for what makes you happy.
What is the biggest lesson you have learned from your marriage?
I've learned that sometimes, I'm not right. (Don't ever tell The Husband I wrote that!!) I've learned that it's okay to not win an argument. And it's okay to go after what you believe in.

ReplyDeleteHey there! I just found your blog and am really excited to be your newest follower. I LOVED this post and agreed with every word. Especially the part about giving up. I have quite a few friends that are taking the (divorce) easy way out. It's sad.
