Rog and I have only been married a short time now and I can’t believe how fast it’s gone by. It feels like it was just yesterday I was getting to know him over IM, emails, text messages and good old FB – Facebook. I must admit marriage life has been pretty amazing so far. It has had its challenges at times, but the best challenges a girl could ask for! I’ve learned a lot of interesting things about my husband and myself and how marriage does change you a bit but totally for the better. I don’t mean to sound cheesy but I thought my life was pretty amazing before I met Roger. But now looking back I see how much I was actually lacking without him in it. I’m so grateful I met Roger when I did… I was a little lost at that point in my life and I like to think he saved me. It was fate... destiny/fate an event (or a course of events) that will inevitably happen in the future, the ultimate agency regarded as predetermining the course of events... He was like an angel sent to me to make me laugh and see how much life really has to offer. I never thought I could love someone so much until I met Roger. I’m definitely not an expert in love or marriage but I thought I’d share a few thoughts/tips J that have helped me and might bring a smile to someone’s face. Hopefully to my wonderful husband and BFF– Roger G. Coleman III. Booyaa!!
1. Always get up and feed the girls (dogs) on Saturdays and Sundays and especially on his days off! If not - husby will not be very happy or quite when he jumps back in bed.
2. Laughter is the best medicine. We are pretty silly people in general but it’s nice to be able to get upset or argue about something and 20 mins later we both usually realize how unimportant the topic of our fight was… usually it’s me that always gives in. Roger is defiantly the stubborn one in the marriage J right honey!! We have the best laugh attacks I must say – especially when he makes me cry laughing so hard. Which happens a lot.
3. You don’t always have to be right… and is there REALLY a right or wrong answer?? We agree to disagree at times and that’s just fine. At times I have to remember we are different people and together we are so much stronger than apart - Team Coleman for life. Roger doesn’t have a “wrong” way of doing laundry he just has a different way at doing it than I do. Or I it’s not “wrong” for me to always leave the faucet on spray rather than the other way.
4. It’s OK to be the first to say I'm sorry.
5. Always allow silly time even when someone is mad. Life is too short to hold on to things.
6. To make each other a priority and it’s okay to make yourself a priority at times too. Thursday nights poker night, boxing, the gym or dinner with friends is healthy. In the end it makes us appreciate and love each other more.
7. Having patience with each other... I’m sure Rog is laughing at this because sometimes I have the worst ADD. Epically when I’m telling a story – wow I am bad I will admit it – but I can tell he really is trying. Now he just rolls his eyes rather then gets upset. I am trying to work on my storytelling too. Stay focused and on point!
8. Never be low on fuel or leave a car on empty. OK- he hasn’t 100% realized this yet with me but I’m hoping this post will help .
9. Always appreciate each other… even the little things. I know Rog appreciates every meal I prepare – even when it taste like hell and I like to think that’s only happen once! I appreciate every time he starts my car before work, scrapes my windows, or leaves me a love note just saying hi –the best notes are the ones when he leaves a funny picture! Can’t share those on the blog!
