The bedfellow called Marriage
May 24th, 2008 by Jane Ullah
The feeling of being married is still slightly alien, in a very good way.
It’s been over a year and everyone I tell says the first year is the hardest. However, everyone goes ahead to say it’s year 2 that’s harder, or year 5 or … you get the picture. However, I will say something I’m sure you knew: your marriage will be in troubled waters if you:
- Always want to get the last word,
- Always want to win the argument,
- And always want to have it your way.
As we continue on this journey, I’m learning that often times, when I hear out the partner or even agree to do it their way, the partner becomes more amenable to suggestions and *gasp* you still might end up having it your way!
I know it’s cheating, but the idea behind this is showing respect and that you understand what it means to have delayed gratification. Obviously, I’m working on moving away from instant gratification to delayed gratification to it-may-happen-or-it-may-not-happen-but-I-will-live. ![]()
I’m over at the lab, but I’ll be leaving soon. Take care and have a wonderful Memorial day weekend!!
