The Secret's Out
Typically once I inform people who John and I’ve been married for 17 years now, they exclaim in shock, “What, did you get married once you had been twelve?!” After which we giggle and giggle till I get up and cry a bit of.
The instances I am not dreaming, although, folks typically ask what our “secret” is. I assume they imply the key to a cheerful marriage, and never that factor that occurred on the honest, as a result of how would they learn about that?
So. The key to a cheerful marriage?
ROMANTICAL TYPE WORDS AND STUFF.
Yep, nothing bolsters a relationship greater than eloquently whispered…um…whispers of affection.
And stuff.
What’s extra, this type of mushiness is not simply to your weeding day!
Now, admittedly, John is so much higher at this than I’m, however I’ve realized to observe his lead and attempt to say one thing romantical each single day.
I do know it may be arduous for you naturally romantic chatterboxes to grasp us extra silent and stoic varieties, however the fact is usually we simply do not know the right way to specific what we’re feeling.
And different instances you will have to chop us a bit of slack as a result of, hey, a minimum of we’re making an attempt.
