Today we celebrate 13 years together. There is so much that I’ve learned in the past 13 years as it relates to living with and loving this woman that is my wife. Here are 13 Things I’ve learned over the past 13 years with my wife.
- Wouldn’t want to share a bathroom with anyone else. Even if I only get 10% of the counter space for myself.
- Laundry will just not ever be caught up with. Ain’t gonna happen, but I don’t mind at all.
- Being right is overrated. Being civil isn’t.
- It’s always more fun with her there, and always more lonely when she’s gone.
- A surprise Diet Coke in a big cup will always make her day better.
- Sitting quietly through girl movies is always better than making fun of them loudly.
- A small gesture means a lot with 3 (and sometimes 4) kids in the house.
- Funny things are more funny when she’s laughing with me.
- She will always laugh first when I’ve hurt myself in an accident. I’m learning to accept this unique way of dealing with bodily harm.
- Asking forgiveness is the greatest marital tool in the marriage toolbox.
- Holding hands is always worth the inconvenience of a sweaty palm.
- Having her to talk with me through life’s changes and ups and downs; is one of my favorite things about her.
- The ability to count years and years that we’ve been together is something I’ll always treasure!
