......walk beside me and share my life with me forever.....

Do not walk behind me for I will not lead; Do not walk in front of me for I may not follow; walk beside me and share my life with me forever....

Okay the above quote may be exactly as it is written, but modified with a little modification.  This is how I see my life with my husband, Tommy.  We have dona a lot of walking together in the past 34 year since we first meet, some paths were smooth; some were bumpy; some were short and some were long but no matter what we walked them together side by side and never left each other on one of those paths alone.

I can't even remember my life before I meet Tommy, were both 18 years old, had just finished high school, and were working at a job (my first) when we meet.  We were working as telephone solicitors, people always asked if I called him up and that's how we meet, lol....no were both worked at the same place.

Now when I think back to how we were in the first years of "dating", and the first years of "marriage" and work we did and all the "sweet little things" young people in love do for each other, I am so grateful for the relationship we have,because when times were tough, neither one of us quit.  Marriage is a lot of HARD WORK on both of each other.  People say marriage is 50-50....but I once heard our pastor say, "Giving 50-50 in a marriage, is only giving half of yourself.  Marriage should be 100 percent of each person, both people giving their ALL."  That made so much sense, if you want to do your best at something, you give it your all, you give 100%, and shouldn't your marriage be that something you want to do you best at.  I know I do.  

Tommy and I are like most of you, we have fights, I mean what marriage doesn't, it part of life.  It just doesn't have to be the main part of your marriage, or actually any relationship you have.  I mean we love our kids but we fight with them, doesn't mean we don't love them. But you would never quit on your kids, so you should never quit on your spouse. Life gets busy, you get tired, life happens.  But you have to make time for marriage and your spouse.  

I love Pinterest..find all kids of great stuff.  Well this past week I found a "31 day challenge of loving my husband" from servingjoyfully.com (husband can do this for their wives) .  As I read this blog, it made some sense.  I mean Tommy and I do date night; making time each other; from dinner to a movie to going to the fair alone.  But as I read this blog, I was reminded of the little things we should do for our spouses, besides praying for them.  Go check out that site, read the 31 day challenge, isn't your marriage worth it?  I know mine is and I know Tommy is worth it....

I love Tommy very much, as I know he loves me.  I can't imagine living one day without him.  I thank God for him everyday; even the days he drives me crazy, lol, yes there are a few of those, but marriage is an adventure....and I love that I get to share this adventure with him.  

Wouldn't want it any other way....I will walk beside him forever.....

Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
