I Love My Wife

Yesterday, I took a couple of my buddies on a little wheelin' trip in my Jeep. Before leaving, my wife asked me when I thought we'd be back. I gave her my "best guess", which is about as good as a politician's promise.

Long story short, I didn't make it back when she had hoped. There was a phone call to check on where we were, a big let-down at finding out, and a sheepish husband in front of "the boys". And worse, a huge misunderstanding and some arguing to go along with it when I got home. She simply wanted to surprise us with dinner when we got back. Thanks to me, she went to Apollo Burger with my daughter instead.

And yet...

She still loves me. We talked it out, we worked through it, and we moved on. Better, stronger, and a little more understanding of each other as a result. And that is what makes my marriage so great. And that is also why...

I LOVE MY WIFE!

Whyzit so many seem so unwilling to just work on marriage?

Sadly, it's a lesson everyone must learn...on their own...at their own time and leisure, whatever. There are many more, my little grasshopper. This is just the beginning. Now, leave me while I nod off to sleep.
