Today I celebrate 26 years with a great man who loves me, puts up with all of my crap AND still smiles at me every morning. How do we do it? Easy.....For the Husband:
1. Don't worry about your socks matching, especially as she gets on in years and can't even see them as she matches them, no one looks at your socks anyway.
2. The bra hanging on the door knob - she's just reminding you that she's still got it - don't mention it needs a little more underwire than the youthful days.
3. Dinner is anyway you see it - that burnt food after 26 years - it's just extra flavoring.
4. There is no perfect way to parent a child - and sometimes duct tape can help you have a casual conversation with your wife.5. Say I love you every single day, especially when she asks, "Do I look fat in these jeans?"
For the Wife:
1. No, you do not look fat in those jeans, and he knows any way he tries to say it will not come out right, just accept the "I love you" and smile.
2. Great motto for life - always keep your fights on the clean side, and what you do in the bedroom on the dirty side.
3. He still wants you after watching you give birth, gain then shed 50 lbs AND when you color your hair - you got a good one.
4. Pick you arguments, the ones that don't matter just smile sweetly and keep what you are saying in your head, in your head.
5. Starting off and then doing the work to stay friends. You can tell your friend anything, but if they are married to you you can tell them anything AND they still love you anyway!
Happy Anniversary to my best friend, someone I've been with longer than I've been alone - and that's a good thing. A lot of people call marriage a work of art - ours will be a masterpiece.
