Since being married, I've learned how happy real love can make a person. People seem to think if you adore your partner, it can't be what it seems, but I've learned that if you really love someone, you can fight and argue but it quickly passes and get's resolved and you stay on cloud nine. Ainsley and I have had lots of fights....living with someone and getting used to each other, and being in each others space is not easy..but its weird because it almost brings us closer. we understand each other better, we seem to love each other more all time.
But a few things I've also learned...you have to make your spouse number one in your life...if you don't over time they will slip further and further down your list of priorities. I can see already in just over three months of marriage that martial and relationship communication is hard even in the best of times...guys and girls are so freaking different and we look at things TOTALLY different. I swear sometimes I wonder what planet Ainsley is from.
But real love in my opinion is worth nurturing and guarding and caring for at all costs...I don't know how I ever lived without it...or how I ever thought I loved or was in good relationships with some people. When you got the good stuff....their is no confusion and you will do anything to preserve it!!
I've also learned its very easy to become " too used to each other"...that you stop going out of your way to keep romance and fun..especially if you have a kid running around and a busy life. I'm lucky my husband takes the time which is teaching me to go out of my way sometimes to!
I think that we live in a cynical age where relationships and love and marriage is taking on new meanings for alot of people and it's slipping further and further down the list of people's priorities. I guess I'm old school in wanting the husband and family life!
