Getting To Know You - by Kevin Farnsworth

Married life is great!  So much better then being single!!  Having someone to share your triumphs and discouragements with.  Someone who has your back when it seems like the whole world is against you.  I love Jess and she loves me.  We are having fun getting to know each other and the little quirks we have and are just finding out.  To be perfectly honest, we fight a lot!  We are very similar as far as personalities and we tend to clash at times.  We are both extremely stubborn individuals and neither of us like to be wrong.  What I love is that we are able to apologize and move on.  We don't keep our feelings buried and hold a grudge for days or weeks or years at a time.  If we have a problem we air it out and sometimes it get's a little hairy!  I am happy to say that at the writing of this post it has been four days since our last argument, progress!!

I look forward to strengthening my  relationship with Jess and I know that she feels the same way.  Neither one of us would have been divorced if it was our choice, that's just not who we are, we don't quit, we like to stick things out and struggle through the hard times knowing that good times are on the horizon, isn't that what life is all about?  Neither of us are perfect and we acknowledge our faults and don't judge the other or nit pick one another.  We strive to look for the good in each other and exercise love and patience.  Jess has the harder job in this aspect.  I am grateful for her.  Never in my life have I met someone who has possessed such love and forgiveness towards others.  I look forward to learning from her for the rest of my life.  I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who has brought two imperfect people together and given them a chance to be happy.

I was going to write more but I forgot that I was supposed to do the dishes tonight.  Well, four days isn't bad!
