Pre-Valentine Reminiscing
February 11th 2008 13:04
My husband and I have been together for 10 years - 2 years as boyfriend/girlfriend and 8 years as husband and wife. We met through a blind date that was set-up by our friends and I still remember feeling very at ease with him when we first met. It was like we've known each other for a long time, we talked non-stop and enjoyed each other's company.
Ten years later we are still together and now raising a family. We've had our share of ups and downs, of moments when our relationship was put to the test. Relationships does take a lot of work, of compromises, acceptance and above all, unconditional love. But what I've learned through all these is that we cannot change someone. We can, however, change how we perceive that person and hopefully in time they will change for the better.
So to my husband (who I know reads my blog secretly) I will stop complaining about you being too messy and hopefully you'll start doing the chores on that list I posted on the fridge. There, don't you just love compromises?

Good luck with your compromises...I'm waiting for mine to happen as well... ie for my husband to do more housework!
