Spouse! Really we are so immature, in a grown up way. I know I am annoying, he loves me anyway. One minute I am responsible, organized, smart, honest, loyal… humble. It’s more important that when I can’t, he can. I can be rational and get through the surprises life leaves in your lap, while he is all reactionary. Then when I lose it later, he has kicked into action and picks up my pieces!
The things that make us an unlikely couple actually are the things that stick us together. We were friends forever before we ever were a couple. When we considered each other as a couple, it was us always. We did raise each other. I remember going out to dinner, fancy, being seated and feeling like it was a game of house. We had a year together before marriage and another after, just the 2 of us before adding in kids. We grew a lot pre children and then again afterwards. We are still growing, it doesn’t stop. I don’t think it should.
Relationships are ever changing, just as a person does. Wants change, lifestyle changes, tolerance changes. There has to be value in listening to your persons words, really hearing. Better yet, telling is just as important. Nobody learns anything from silence. Sometimes switching up your responsibilities is a huge game changer, for better. Health, finances are building blocks that you need to step into and off again. There is a balance, you just need to find it.
