This is his idea of retirement. Some how I’m not into the outfit and carrying the big net walking in a stream that I’m not sure of the bottom. I only like being wet in a bathing suit in 80′ weather.
He bought me a beautiful fly rod and I have yet to use it but somehow it has been in quite a few streams. He also bought me the boots and a vest and a ton of flies. The problem is I only like ocean fishing on a boat about 10 miles out to sea and he doesn’t like the boat ride unless it is on a lake. So, the compromise is to meet up for dinner. Not ideal but we’re together for the car ride, or the plane ride to get to our destination and then for dinner and sleeping. I say ” 3 out of 4 ain’t bad.”
“Finding the time to spend together along with individual time, keeps conversations lively and the time together even more special.”

I know it’s Sunday but I seem to be able to sneak into the
office and work on my blog while my husband is watching the latest golf tournament.
But after about 10 minutes he yells out – “What are you doing?” I tell him I’m working on my blog.
I then hear the icebox (refrigerator for those that don’t know me) door open and yell out. “What are you
doing”? and he says he’s working too – on his stomach!!
He probably thinks that makes me think, I should cook dinner. No Not Me!!! I’m smarter than that!!
I’m heading to Amazon.com not Peapod.
“As we keep inching closer to that GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY I just need to make sure we’re both
in good shape to take on the next 50″.

This picture was taken a few years ago on Cocoa Beach in Florida. The reflection in my sunglasses is of the same guy I’ve had in my sights since I was 15 and if I may say so the view has only become clearer and more beautiful as the years have flown by.
Marriage can only endure when the couple has the same goals and focus their sights on the same views.
I only have eyes for you and I’mexcited to share the views throughout our retirement years.

- He never forgets our one special date.
Today is our aniversary. I remember it with chills and joy. It’s so wonderful to know that the day we married is a very special date to him too. He never forgets. Today he woke me up with a card and gifts on my pillow. Even after all these years he remembers and tells me it was the most wonderful day of his life. He makes me feel like the years have not accumulated but have melted into that one special day that we share. This one is as memorable as the 1st, 2nd, 3rd,……and beyond. Our commitment to us is what makes us work.
A good marriage cannot exits where you and I take priority over us.

He walks in the house with a bag of Chinese. “Here’s dinner,” he says, “you sounded down when I called so I thought I’d take care of dinner”.
Not just seeing your mood but hearing it in your voice and jumping to make it better is a great sign of friendship. Marriage isn’t an institution it’s a friendship. Don’t take it for granted, savor it.

The look and feel of love is not always wrapped in Tiffany Blue.
Quite a while ago my sister-in-law had to go back to our hometown for a couple weeks to be with her mother leaving her hubby home to fend for himself. She made sure he had clean clothes and some staples in the kitchen so he wouldn’t starve, packed up the car and with a girlfriend made the 8 hour journey back home. Every evening they talked on the phone to keep up with each other’s day and as the two weeks came to an end they both looked forward to her ETA back home. She arrived home early in the day while my brother-in-law was still at work. She and her girlfriend unpacked the car and proceeded into the house. What they found was what just about any wife would find. Wet towels on the bathroom floor, newspapers strewn on the family room floor and the kitchen in a less then appealing sight with dirty dishes in the sink and counters filled with things that should be in the cupboard or pantry. Her girlfriend remarked that, “I guess he thinks it’s your job to clean up after him since you haven’t been home for a couple weeks”. “No,” she said “he’s just showing me how much he needs me”.
This is not a newly married couple, they’ve been married 36 years, but my sister-in-law still has that new bride twinkle in her eye and love in her heart when she sees or speaks of her hubby. She doesn’t get caught up in the little irritating things of life that can cause arguments and unnecessary stress. You see, true love can see and find ‘the love’ through the clutter of life, creating a safe haven for love to grow and endure.

- In Marriage, even the most inconsequential white lie will come back and bite you.
Operating a bridal store for over 25 years, I come across many different marriage dilemmas. Not long ago one of my brides asked me to exchange the size of her dress label for one that stated that the dress was a size 10. She said her dream was always to be a size 10 and what better time than for her wedding. I said no problem and I had my seamstress exchange the sizing tags. The bride picked up her dress and had a beautiful wedding.
I didn’t give it another thought until she brought her dress back for heirlooming about six months later. She said her wedding was wonderful and she was very happy. Then she related this story to me. “She related they had their first Christmas together and her husband bought her beautiful gifts. She said after opening all the gifts she asked him whatever made him think she was a size 10? He said he looked in her wedding gown that was hanging in the closest and since they were only married a month before Christmas the size should be right. Oh, she said. Explained the difference in bridal sizing, thanked him for the gifts and returned them for the appropriate sizes.” I asked if she wanted the sizing changed before heirlooming. “No, she said, in years to come I want everyone to know that I was a size 10 bride.”
In marriage I guess you have to decide how important that white lie is and how the consequences might affect the relationship. But when it comes to weight, age and size I’m sure over the years white lies will stretch with our waistlines. In this particular situation it’s mind over matter. If you don’t mind then does it really matter?
