I met my wife when we were in High School, so I was 16 and she 14. We did a LOT of growing and changing over the years but still remain together. Our bond has grown and become very strong. Years ago, I decided to approach my relationship in a different way.. I decided to try my hardest, when I disagree, to see it from her eyes and ask questions about how I could react differently. I also gave myself permission to let things go and allow myself not to be perfect or driven my perfectionism. Oh the book I could write on love, what I know and how it pales in comparison to what I do not know. We will be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary this August 18th and will be closing in on 30 years together as a couple. We have found our rhythm but also know that we will always have to work at it. Love is just that way.. it can not be ignored or taken for granted. 😊
Very nice post!
Oh wow 16 and 14! As I always say love like old wines ages beautifully. It is a lot of hard work but when we want to make it work we find ways of doing just that. The hubs and I celebrated our 30th anniversary in Feb this year and I know what you mean when you say
such is life and love we can take nothing for granted.
Hope I don't forget to wish you on your Anniversary, I am terrible with dates.
Lest I forget I wish you both many more years of togetherness and love in advance.
Thank you for your kind words.
