More From Mom

 

Well we did it. We just celebrated 20 years of marriage last week. We had a very low key celebration. Just me and him and a trip to the beach. It was quite lovely actually. We walked on the beach and held hands. We ate a nice dinner out at a lovely seafood restaurant and we then came home and watched a redbox. We’re not fancy people. We just enjoy spending time together. To me it still seems like it was just yesterday I married him. I can’t believe it’s been 20 years and 3 kids later. 

If you ask couples who have been together a long time how they’ve stayed married so long you get a similar answer. We never fell out of love at the same time. But there’s more to that. You also have to be able to give and take. That goes for all things. When he’s having a bad day I get out of the way. When I’m having a bad day I put myself in time out.  You learn to say I’m sorry and you are forgiven. You become able to take things less personally and know that a bad day is sometimes just a bad day. You ride out the good times and the bad times. You invite God into your marriage and your life and you let him do the guiding. With a lot of Faith, a lot of Love and some Patience you too can make it to 20 years.  Happy Anniversary babe!!
