My husband

I don't think I say it enough, but I have been truly blessed with an amazing man and husband with Jeff. Of course our marriage is not perfect, but we continue to just learn so much about each other and continue to grow and work on life together. I by nature am a selfish person, and want things my way or for myself, but man it so does not work that way in a marriage! Although I fail quite regularly, as time goes on in our marriage, I think more and more about setting myself aside and loving my husband even in times when I don't want to. For example-I know that I am the type of person who just bottles things inside if they are bothering me and do not talk about them until one day things just explode. I have realized lately though that by doing that-I shut Jeff out, and I don't want to do that or hurt him by doing that. So it's just been on my heart lately to talk to him more if something is up or bothering me. It's not easy, but man, when we let each other into our hearts and minds, our marriage just seems to blossom. Marriage is not about each putting in 50%, it's about putting yourself aside and giving it 100% or more. Now-do I fail at this-you better believe it, but through the over 5 years we've been married, I am learning more just to slow down and love my husband better-can't say well-but hopefully someday I will get there. To Jeff-thanks for your love, patience, thoughtfulness, honesty, willingness to share your heart, sincerity, caring for me and our son, your love for God and desire to grow more in Him, and for just being you. I love you so much!
