Marriage is ...

I've had a stressful morning to really understate it and I'm so unmotivated to work the rest of the afternoon. I came across this website with some funny jokes about marriage and a few of them made me laugh.

"A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man."

"A woman was telling her friend, "It is I who made my husband a millionaire." The friend asked, "And what was he before you married him?" The woman replied, "A multi-millionaire."

"After a quarrel, a wife said to her husband, "You know, I was a fool when I married you." The husband replied, "Yes, dear, but I was in love and didn't notice."

"I had some words with my wife and she had some paragraphs with me."

"I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was Always."

"Marry not a tennis player, for love means nothing to them."

"Some mornings I wake up grouchy... and some mornings I just let her sleep." (hahahaha...)

har har ... I know a lot of people joke about marriage and all the problems it brings, but I believe it also brings happiness and growth in people. I feel I've grown in the past two years of living with my now husband, learned about compromise, not going to bed angry, never backing down for something I believe in, and also learning how to clean the house in an hour ... yep I'm good! But most of all I learned respect. You have to respect the person you're with. Respect the value of there opinions and beliefs. We're not always going to see eye to eye and we're not always going to want to do what the other one wants or feels "we" should do, but its with compromise and respect that you perservere. There's no "I" in team, and thats what a marriage is a team of 2 ... not 3 not 4 ... 2 ... just me and you and all other people and I don't know why I can't take my eyes off-a you .. Okay a little Lifehouse action. You can't please everyone in this life, and trying to make everyone happy isn't worth it (learned that one after planning a wedding!), we'll always have disagreements but in the end you know I'll always love you.
