I LOVE Kenny Chesney - his songs have always been very powerful and emotional to me. Brent and I had a horrible fight Friday night. One thing is for sure, being married is not always easy. It can be so many different things at one time-wonderful, safe, passionate, stressful, difficult, irritating, humorous, infuriating. The BIGGEST lesson I have learned in my one short year of marriage is that in order to make it work, one thing is a constant-compromise. You have to give up your stubbornness, your ego, your attitude, your need to be right all of the time. Brent and I both have very strong personalities - that is probably why we love hard, but we fight hard, too. Marriage is alot of hard work, at least in the beginning. But like anything precious that you don't want to lose, it is worth fighting for. I listened to this song on my way to work this morning, and it says alot about marriage......Because no one can make me laugh like my husband, love me like my husband, and sometimes, PISS ME OFF like my husband hehee......
I had a hundred dollar ring in my hand
So weak and tired I could barely stand
From bein up all night praying she’d say yes
So with a hopeful heart I hit one knee
With a tear in her eye she looked at me
It was the moment of truth, I was scared to death.
My life hung on what that tear meant
Then she smiled at me, and I lost it...
No one can make me cry, make me laugh
Make me smile or drive me mad, like she does
It’s like a curse that is the cure
Better or worse, one thing’s for sure
It’s real love
And I don’t know what I’d do if I lost it
Well the honeymoon ended and life began
Jobs and bills, losing touch with friends
And that apartment got smaller everyday
Then one night the walls finally closed in
I came home late, she said where have you been
You used to call and tell me you’re on your way
She said if this is how it’s gonna be then I quit
She walked out the door, I lost it...
I picked myself up off the floor
She walked back through the door
We made love like it was the first time
So weak and tired I could barely stand
From bein up all night praying she’d say yes
So with a hopeful heart I hit one knee
With a tear in her eye she looked at me
It was the moment of truth, I was scared to death.
My life hung on what that tear meant
Then she smiled at me, and I lost it...
No one can make me cry, make me laugh
Make me smile or drive me mad, like she does
It’s like a curse that is the cure
Better or worse, one thing’s for sure
It’s real love
And I don’t know what I’d do if I lost it
Well the honeymoon ended and life began
Jobs and bills, losing touch with friends
And that apartment got smaller everyday
Then one night the walls finally closed in
I came home late, she said where have you been
You used to call and tell me you’re on your way
She said if this is how it’s gonna be then I quit
She walked out the door, I lost it...
I picked myself up off the floor
She walked back through the door
We made love like it was the first time
No one can make me cry, make me laugh
Make me smile or drive me mad like she does
It's like the curse that is the cure
Better or worse, one thing's for sure
It's real love
And I don't know what I'd do if I lost it
Oh if I lost it, if I lost it
I don’t wanna lose it...
Oh if I lost it, if I lost it
I don’t wanna lose it...

I love Kenny too...his songs are touching, and somehow always seem to touch a chord, or just the right song will come on the radio...magic! You are right, marriage is not easy, but it is sooooo worth the effort. I wish I could tell you it will get easier, but it doesn't, really, the issues just change. What you fight about today, will not be what you fight about tomorrow. Be strong to believe in yourself and your husband, and be willing to give in sometimes ;)

Dear, dont worry, you two are gonna make it............
17 years and even more............
Cause you guys got the right stuff....
Men! I thought it was so odd when I married my hubby he was all into being together and being this little family and then after a year he kind of reverted back to his selfish ways. Sometimes I felt more like his mom than his wife. It does take a lot of patience and compromise. Sometimes we give it more than they do and it gets so frustrating. I know my hubby would just go hang out after work with friends and just stroll in (like the lyrics) and I when I asked why he did not call he would say because I would bitch at him - but by not calling I bitched more when he came home! Thank God those days are gone, they mellow with age and now he would never think of doing that. There are still some things that he does that makes me batty and I know it is important to communicate with him because men really have no idea what we feel, but it is hard to remember that even after 2o years of marriage. It's never easy, but it does get easier and there is nothing like passion! And you sould like you have a lot of passion for each other! But that passion can be a double edged sword! Well, it will never be boring! :) Hope things get better soon!
