Openess begets openess!

We accomplished something really amazing today...

Today Greg and I have been married for 12 happy years! Unfortunately Greg is not feeling very well today, so we didn't go out or anything. We just stayed at home and ate Blue Bell ice cream! If you haven't had Blue Bell ice cream you need to stop everything and go get some. :) LOL It's that good!


I don't understand divorce. Now I'm not talking about divorce where there is a good reason behind it. I have many friends who are divorced and sometimes it was called for and sometimes it just wasn't their choice. I'm talking about the kind of divorce when people say "we are just not happy together anymore." Hello? Who said you have to be happy all the time? Marriage is a committment, something that always changes and continues to evolve. Many times it is difficult. But my goodness WORK it out! Get help---whatever!

We have been learning a lot about community recently in our Sunday school class and small group. Do you know how important it is to have someone to talk to? So many people just don't have another person that they can bounce things back and forth. If you don't have a friend to talk to you need to find one or even find a counselor to talk to.

One thing we have also talked about is having "couple counceling". Many times if we get with a girlfriend to talk it is easy to bash our spouse and let off steam. But that's not very beneficial, and only one side of the story is heard. But if we get with another couple and talk about our problems, we are able to hear outloud both sides of the story and get a perspective from an outside party that could be beneficial in helping us work on it.

Openess begets openess!

Please be real! We need eachother.

It's late...I hope this makes sense.
