Marriage Is...

After yesterday's post, I want to clarify something...my hubby and I are very happy.  No harm was ever intended or thought about during this previously posted incident. It was just another funny story from the book of our life together.

Our marriage has laughter, love and friendship and I believe those are important elements or I never would have lasted through thirty-eight years!

Yes, Hubby has thrown me from a moving vehicle, placed duct tape in my underwear, oiled the commode ring, placed exploding fireworks in the kitchen cabinet and tied my pants legs in knots while I shower.  BUT, I have also dealt out as good as I got.  I have thrown rotten eggs in close proximity to him, hidden snakes in his truck, placed panties in his sandwiches, put Ambesol in his Carmex and Ben Gay in his pillow case.

Hubby brings me wild flowers and pretty rocks and understands my obsessiveness with animals.  I understand his dreams.  We tolerate and are entertained by my our differences.  We are an enduring match...we are both too stubborn to give up.

One year during our anniversary Hubby said,  After all these years, I can say I have never been bored!  To me that was the greatest compliment I have ever received.

All in all, we are the perfect couple, sometimes...no one is a perfect couple all the time.  It is the ability to work through those imperfections with love, laughter and understanding that has made ours a fantastic lifetime.
