Well, today Mary Anne and I have been married for 27 years. It seems like I am not old enough to have been married that long. I kid with people and say we have been happily married for 25 years. Well, that might be right. There have probably been 2 years that were tough. How have we made it 27 years in marriage? Here is my take and I have lived it.
- Remember marriage is a covenant relationship.
- SAY the words “I LOVE YOU” and DEMONSTRATE “I LOVE YOU” as often as you get the chance.
- Remember the grass “on the other side” is really over a septic tank.
- Remember you get out of a marriage what you put into a marriage.
- As my uncle told me upon our engagement, “Marriage is like a hot tub of water. The longer you are in it the colder it gets.” My advice on that is to keep adding hot water.
- It’s popular on many signs but not in many lives but make sure you spend time living, laughing and loving.
- Remember it’s worth the fight.
- Go on dates (you and your kids will survive time away from each other).
- Sex with one person your whole life is really good no matter what people may say.
- Have sex even when you do not feel like it.
- If you have kids, they need you to stay together and in love.
There is more I could say and I’m sure I missed some really important stuff but it has worked.
P.S. I love you Mary Anne Williams
