How to be a better wife
It made me
very happy!
 "I read two books that changed everything!"
How I did it: The two books are Personality Plus by Florence Littauer and the second book is The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman. If you will read, study and apply what you learn in these two books, you will not only become a better wife/ husband, but also a better parent, as there is a section on children in each book. Type back at me once you have tried this, I have not seen one failure yet. I love progress reports. Happy reading!! Lessons & tips: Once you understand a person's personality and their Love language then you can communicate openly without having to walk on eggshells al the time. Resources: There are a couple of other books that I could suggest here but I will save that for those of you who type back at me. Consider those a bonus.

I think I'm done?

I haven’t had a fight with my husband in weeks, does that mean I’m done???????
Hes’ happier, I’m happier… I think this all boils down to give and receive. We focus too much one what we want so much we lose sight of what the person we would once do anything for, really wants. Then maybe it just becomes two selfish bickering people.
A little extra effort, omit the nagging, and learn to ignore the little things, and I think it may be the key..

I cooked breakfast and went and had breakfast with my husband on his lunch break. He really appreciated that. Then when he got home I made him lunch. Made the bed and picked up the house.
Set back
7 months ago
We were doing so well, had a fantastic loving, happy weekend. And then Monday came. So many little things returned, the inconsiderate things that make my blood boil and my eyes fill with tears.
I want to go back to Sunday.
Enough wallowing….how do I make it happen?
Stay positive. Focus on the good things.
Why I love my husband:
1. He is so hard working.
2. He is so loving and generous with the kids.
3. HE gives awesome hugs.
4. He irons his own shirts :)
Fun Weekend
8 months ago
We went out with friends and had a great time. Fun to be out with other people, we normally try to steal time away from the kids with just us. It was great to see him laughing and talking with friends. I almost forgot that side of him.
We have been kissing more and it feels so good!!
Patience and Love

He went out last night, which he never does, but I so desperately wanted him to stay home. I sucked it up. I didn’t complain. I kissed him when he came home and told him I loved and missed him.
Everyone needs space, I love mine. But when he goes I feel so needy. Instead of feeling needy, I need to let go.
