I don't know about all of you, but I plan to stay married to my husband for the rest of our lives. Yes, this is a second marriage for us both...but when you finally get it right, well you just don't want to lose that. We are not anywhere near what society would call perfect, and I am just fine with this.
According to Merriam-Webster they define perfect as: being entirely without fault, corresponding to an ideal standard. Now I don't want to necessarily stand out, but I am not really a "fit in" kinda gal either. The same goes for my husband, except the gal part of course, lol. Sure I like some of the same things as others, be it clothes or a hairstyle but I am far from conforming! I constantly complain that I need a new style, and to be honest I am not sure I actually have a style to change, lol. But I am OK with that, and so is my husband.
No matter what image I have myself in my head, it obviously differs from my husband's image. I know that all men think they are obligated to tell their wives they look great, the tell them they are beautiful, that they don't need to change a thing. Now in a woman's mind, she is instantly thinking, "liar"...I, like most women will always have little insecurities about ourselves. I too doubt at times when my husband gives me a compliment. But its not a strong doubt, its more like, "Huh? For real?" And most of the time, I actually believe what he is saying to me. Not because I am overly confident, lol...but because he makes me feel that way. And that folks it why I am never letting this man go!
I can say without a doubt that I am married to the most handsome man in world, just looking at him sets the butterflies off in my stomach. Hearing his voice, ahhhh! Goose bumps! I am not sure if he thinks exactly the same thing about me, but I am gonna guess he kinda likes me since he is still with me, lol. My whole point to this blog is when you have that perfect person, (and I do!), hang on to them. Even if there are days you don't see yourself as a great catch, just remember, they do! You might not be everyone's cup of tea, but when you are just right for each other you over look the chips and imperfections...
Normal, you see that word everywhere. What exactly is normal? Well let's just Google it! Normal: conforming to a standard; usual; typical or expected; ordinary. Where's the fun in that? We are anything but normal, and we like it!
Sure, we know how to behave in public when needed. Heck we can even be prim and proper when the situation calls for it. That is why I like to think of us as more like a versatile family, we fit that description much better! Versatile: capable of doing many things competently; able to adapt; changeable; and better yet, INCONSISTENT! Yeah, that is us! And its not as bad as it sounds! It just means we can fit in anywhere, to what degree depends on us. It is one of the things that keeps our marriage fresh!
Being able to adapt to different situations and occasions leaves our options more open to have fun together. We are not limited and honestly I enjoy that. Social class, age, music genre, it doesn't matter...we can make it work. I don't understand those who limit their selves to so few things. You have to push that threshold and step out of your comfort zone in order to really live! Our lives will never be dull!
We recently joined a gym and started working out. That broadened our scope a little. A gym is actually a very interesting place, filled with people of all shapes, sizes, colors and backgrounds. What ties them together is the reason that brought them all there in the first place, to get healthy. The gym is the perfect example of what our marriage is. My husband and I have many things in common and at the same time we can be very different. Our common goal that brought us together, well to be honest at first, lust, lol...then love. And being a versatile family is keeping it new and refreshing. Step out into the world, live a little and learn a lot! Until next time...
