Ah, February. The month of love and candy and stuff. I’ve never been a fan of Valentine’s Day, mostly because taking a special day to tell people that you love them seems really silly. Shouldn’t we be sharing love and kindness every day?
I’ve been blessed to be married to my wife for almost 20 years. It hasn’t always been easy; we work on it all the time.
To help enhance your marriage, here is a list of relationship books that have helped us. They are in no particular order, and I’ve included brief reviews. You can find them in print, digital, and audio formats in stores, online, or at your local library.
After having my second child, I realized that she was completely different from her sister.
She acted differently, she had a different temperament, heck, she even cried differently. I knew I was in for a treat. I say I was spoiled by my first child who was quiet, had the ability to play alone, and never really bothered me. My second was a polar opposite! Always wants me, is interactive, and always gets into trouble.
I didn’t have any doubts about us getting through my first year married to my husband. I knew there would be a lot of firsts and possible challenges. My mother told me that the first year of marriage can be trying, especially if you’ve never lived with your spouse before. Not only would it be a lot of fun, it would test my limits and help us understand each others’ quirks.
My son turns 6 years old this week, and I can’t help but find myself reflecting on where the time has gone. It’s cliché, I know, but it’s cliché for a reason.
It feels like just yesterday I was scared to death about being a mother.
And now?
I’m scared to death about being a mother for a second time in less than two months.
It may come as a surprise to some, but there’s a lot to be thankful for in military life. At the top of the list, though, is our fellow military spouses.
