I met my husband December, 1993.  We began dating, got engaged, finished college, then got married October, 1997.  We are coming up on 10 years of marriage this year!  We had a beautiful wedding (thanks to my wonderful parents) that people still talk about today.  We went to Manhanttan, New York on our honeymoon and it was awesome!

After 10 years we have learned a lot about each other.  Sure, we have our disagreements but that’s not a bad thing.  I think it’s healthy to express your opinion.  Not speaking up about your feelings will eat away at your soul.

Now, married couples each have their own friends and being able to maintain those friendships keeps balance in your life.  My husband goes out with his friends and I go out with mine.  I have a couple very good friends from high school and we all still live in the same area.  Well, one of my friends decided to start "Girls Night Out" one day a month.  We go out to dinner and catch up on our lives.  Let’s face it, everyone needs a break from their spouse once in a while.  And that’s ok, it’s healthy.

When you have trust in a relationship, going out for a night on the town without your "better half" is normal.  But don’t forget to go on a date with your spouse on a regular basis.  Dating is what brought you together in the first place.

Live life and sparkle!™
