Love & Marriage

There is plenty advice on love and marriage circulating the Internet, book-stores, and therapist offices. 

As for me...I believe in keeping it simple, honest and fun. 

I have been married for 7 years and I can honestly say that I am STILL head over heels in love with my sexy, imperfect, fun-loving husband! We follow very big footsteps... My parents have been happily married for 32 years and are a wonderful example of true love and commitment. 

Bob Marley said it best "He's not perfect. You aren't either, and the two of you will never be perfect...". I am not perfect by any means and neither is my husband, but we love each others imperfections and we do not try to change each other into something we are not. Which is very important in a marriage, do not try to change your spouse. If you married them one way, do not expect them to change, if you are not happy about it, then maybe it's time you change and learn how to deal with the situation. You knew what you were getting into when you married them and if they didn't change before, don't be surprised if they don't change later. Learn to love the imperfections because I can guarantee the good always outweigh the bad and nagging and complaining will only bring stress onto your marriage.

Divorce is not an option. Keep the word out of your vocabulary. Do not joke around about it. Do not speak it out of anger. This will cause anxiety to your spouse and the easier the "D" word slips out the easier it is to create that possibility into reality. 

Never go to bed angry. Discuss and hash out what is bothering you or what you are arguing about before you go to sleep. You are never guaranteed tomorrow...always remember that. 

Take care of yourself. Don't expect your spouse to "stay" in love with you if you've given up on yourself and your appearance. Stay healthy, look good, put make-up on, shave, smell good, etc. Make sure your spouse keeps his eyes on you forever and always!

Respect your spouse. Keep your problems at home. Do not bad mouth your spouse in front of your kids, family or friends. Include your spouse in your decisions, apologize when you are wrong, listen to your spouse, support their dreams and compliment them often. 

I cannot stress how important communication is. If something is bothering you, speak it. Work through your problems and always remember to appreciate one another. Appreciate the small things as well as the big things. Say thank you and please at all times and remember that marriage takes work and dedication. Keep it fun and always remember what made you fall in love in the first place and continue to do those things. Just because you're married doesn't mean the fun stops...the fun is just beginning! Go out on dates, have sex often (and everywhere), travel, find new hobbies together, and most importantly laugh, laugh, laugh!

Leenie's Baaaaack!

I am finally back after a month long vacation and boy have I missed my blogging family!

We started our vacation with some amazing friends that picked us up in their motorhome and we road tripped it to Florida. We stayed the night in Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia and had a fabulous time bbq'n, fishing, drinking and laughing.

Once in Florida we spent our time with our family and friends in Orlando and Lakeland. We had a great time catching up with everyone and eating at our favorite restaurants.

Unfortunately, towards the end of our vacation my mother in law's husband passed away and we had to travel to Alabama/Tennessee to be there for my mother in law and to of course attend the funeral for such a wonderful man. May you always rest in peace Vernon Bailey! We love you!

Included are some pictures of our vacation.
