My wife and I try (with varying degrees of success) to do things along the lines of what you've posted here -- marriage is indeed a challenge, and it's sometimes difficult to come out with the best answer rather than the fastest answer. We just celebrated our tenth anniversary, and one of the biggest lessons I learned is that I still have a lot to learn.<br /><br />- MattNoVA Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661990626635939447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9684236.post-33388597508998829312006-12-16T17:58:00.000-05:002006-12-16T17:58:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.margaretmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341124658258819638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9684236.post-26734449807270396432006-12-16T10:19:00.000-05:002006-12-16T10:19:00.000-05:00Hi Julie,
I have been offline for the past ten d...Hi Julie,<br /><br /> I have been offline for the past ten days because my computer has been in the shop... Great tips....I especially liked the ones about encouraging and supporting each other to reach their potential, hopes and dreams...and...taking responsibility for what you need without expecting the job to be done and assigned to a particular gender. Strict gender role assignment is one of the potential horsemen of the marriage apocalypse, especially, if one of the partners is not particularly well suited to his or her "expected" role and either partner judges the marriage success according to identification and abiltity to fullfill those roles....Here is my addition to the list...Take responsibility for your own "emotional needs" every day...In other words,learn to care for your own soul and don't "expect" your partner to make you happy or get you out of the funk you are in. I am not suggesting we do not share our needs in this area and ask for help, but I am suggesting we can't "expect" our partners to heal the emotional pain or discomfort we may feel at any particular time and to expect otherwise is to place a burden on our partners that nobody can bear....Bilbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12904580918080106725noreply@blogger.com
