The More Things Change, the More They Remain the Same.

Do remember when you were first married? You were inseparable and you were usually holding hands wherever you went as a couple. You spent as much time together as you could. She would be at your softball or hockey game cheering you on. You even went shopping at the mall or grocery store so you could be around her.
So nowadays, are you still the same couple?
I know there are times we aren’t. Most of the time, but not always. I still kiss her when I leave for work or an errand, and when I get home everyday. We might not be doing the same thing together, but lately we are both in the office together blogging on the computers or doing research.
We still hold hands walking in the store, as long as I’m not using both crutches or my wheelchair. I will even still go to the Super Target when she is going for groceries, as long as I don’t have to be at work or church for Royal Rangers. No, I don’t get excited about shopping, but I want to be alone with her and spend precious time with the woman who is the love of my life. I want to be with her. It is like a oldie song, I feel like “Precious and Few Are the Moments We Two Can Share.”
We can’t be together enough. Sure, there are exceptions to the rule. You know, like when she is upset with me, because perhaps I did or said something wrong. But 99.9% of the time we can’t get enough of each others company. Funny thing though, hmmm, Marye doesn’t want to spend time with me at the gun range.
Just kidding.
This post is merely a reference to one of the facets of our twenty-eight years together as husband & wife. For better or for worse… Personally I think I got the better part. Right now she’s having to deal with the in sickness or in health line with my pain issues for the past 15 months. We both believe that this is not permanent, and with God’s help we will get through this test of my faith.
Hopefully you are doing as well as Marye and I in this area of our marriage. If not,there’s some food for thought.
Blessings.

Gun range? Audet, you never invited me because you know I will out shoot you.
Besides, I would need a new outfit. Something in black leather I think….
LOL I was thinking a gun range would be fun myself! Hunting and having to drag a carcass home…not so much. But shooting at teeny targets from a distance…good times.
I prefer the institution of marriage on equal grounds as a mutual commitment to sustain and grow the relationship through good times and bad. It is a level of commitment that comes with a higher level of responsibility, but also a higher level of security – when it is done right.
Jaison-
That sounds really good. What does it mean exactly and how does it play out in real life?
Marye,
Black leather Chaps and a halter top?
Yeah sure, right.
Love ya!
Something like that.
Not that it would matter…:::Deep, dramatic sigh:::you are not visual, remember.
Ginger,
The gun range can help you hone your skills to bring home that trophy buck. Puts food on the table too.
Maybe, since this is my first year sine 1984 that I am not in retail jewelry full time, I can go hunting.
It also helps to prepare to defend the castle.
Jaison,
I tend to agree with Marye on that. (Suprise!)
In theory it may sound good but, I’m trying to understand exactly what you mean.
Sounds almost like a new parent trying to be sage to trying to tell a dad of four the best way to deal with a teenage son
Hey kid !
Are we trying to give an example of verbal foreplay?
LOL!
