BaBM: Round-Up 1
We have made it through week 1.
So - what did we learn? Did we learn anything? I learned this very important truth: as soon as I start a focused writing project about marriage, I do the MOST STUPID stupid-wife stuff possible. Like whine, and nag, and give the silent treatment, and get mad at nothing, and take offense over things I know he didn't mean that way, and not make time, and not pay attention, and get distracted, and upset, and say things like, "Hi honey welcome home i hope you have a good day i haven't made dinner because i'm too busy writing this marriage stuff and i don't have time to talk right now the kids are screaming could you get them thanks love you okay don't talk to me i'm in the middle of a sentence bye."
Beautiful. Obviously I've got this marriage thing down pat.
Let's Review
- We don't mean to end up hurt, apathetic, lonely, or separated in our marriages... but it happens when we don't pay attention.
- We don't have to settle for a marriage that is mediocre. {from Day 1}
- Expectations are deadly little beasts.
- A demanding spirit can never be content. {from Day 2}
- Men shouldn't joke about their wives earlobes (or something like that...)
- Start believing the best about your husband, and you'll start getting it. {from Day 3}
- You can only change yourself. {from Day 4}
- Friction isn't always a bad thing.
- I LOVE quality time. {from Day 5}
- People are stupid...
- ...but we still shouldn't try to control them. {from Day 6}
- Normal changes. {from Day 7}
So what's working in your marriage? Have you made any changes? What are you working on?
