I have had the best year. My children are doing well and on September 7, 2014, I will be married to my best friend for one year. He is not only my best friend. He is the love of my life. I am about to impart a piece of advice that I hope all who read this will take to heart. It's just not that important to be right. I know that Barry and I have a family theme. What is this theme you ask? It's not unique and it shows how my husband does honor me by spoiling me to the ends of the Earth. "Barry is the King of his home, but answers to the Queen and we all answer to the Princess." Yes, I am in charge of the home. This is just something silly that we came up with one day. What does this say about marriage in general?
I will take you to the Bible. I hope that you aren't clicking out on me. The bible in Ephesians 5:22, says that I should submit to my husband and that Barry should love me and care for me as Christ loves and cares for me. I believe that this is for all persons of all faiths. We should love one another and submit to one another. Barry truly does love and care for as the divinity that I pray to loves and cares for me. I do my best to do the same for him.
Barry shows me each day that he makes my life a little better each day. He truly honors me each day. I hope and pray that I am there for him as he is there for me. There is not a day that I don't feel special to him. Have we had our struggles? Yes. We are humans, yet there has never been a time where we have blamed each other regardless of the issue at the time. Here are three things that I have learned about marriage.
I. Love one another as God loves you
II. Never put blame on your spouse. Blame along with anger doesn't solve anything.
III. Honesty. What can it hurt? If you are honest there are no surprises when trouble does arrive. It's okay to make mistakes because we are humans and we are not perfect. Honesty and love will bring out the best in both parties.
