And that's a beautiful thing!

I was just chatting with another Jetgirl today about how sometimes you do get frustrated or disappointed, but you know that it's temporary, and that there are plenty of good things ahead to be happy and excited about!

So, I guess... Keep up the good work.. hehe

On a lighter note, these are cliches, but true:

"Marriage is a marathon, not a hundred-yard dash; you have to pace yourself..."

"Marriage is like a sine-wave; sometimes you're so head-over-heels in love you want to shout out loud, other times you fully understand how rational people can murder..."

From Mens rules:

"If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one..."


Just celebrated our 24th Wedding Anniversary!

Oh, that makes lots of sense...I like...

I've been with my bf now, for 3 years, and oh yes, we've been on top, and really down low, but figure, this is for the long run, so let's just truck through it, and get back to the high...but I can understand why that comment would sting...glad to hear, ya'll are doing better!

Hey girl, hope that things are looking a bit brighter, I know comments like that aren't much fun :-\ It's good to hear that you all are good communicators though and that you can be really honest with each other. How refreshing and encouraging it is to hear that you're being mature about it and hanging in there with him. I think there is surely something to say about a person who can see the positive out of any situation, and you my dear are a prime example. Thank you.


And Kevin...

I think in any long term relationship there will be times (not necessarily an extended period) when one person isn't attracted to the other. If not, one of you is lying!

We too have a very honest relationship. Sometimes the truth isn't fun to hear, though.

but doesn't it amaze you when you glance over and the sight of then still takes your breath away after all this time.

No matter what, Nick in a uniform will always take my breath away! He looks damn hot!

As for me, I'm afraid I've 'let myself go' a bit and I don't like what I see in the mirror. Since the weather is getting nicer I really have no excuse not to exercise...

Yes, women tend to forget that men are very simple creatures...

Every time I get pissed at my wife for something she has "done/not done," I purposefully think of all azzhole things I have "done/not done" in our 24 year marriage...

Does it equal out? Not in my mind!!!! But then, I may just have it all wrong...


No matter what, we are both trying our best and that's what counts!

I know I drive her crazy sometimes, so I try to let the little things go... and she (generally) does the same...


That is truly the key to our successful marriage.

No matter what else happens in your marriage, both partners have to compromise...

Sometimes it's 50/50, sometimes it's 90/10, but you always have to take the other persons POV into account, otherwise there's no point...


JMHO!
