What a week!

Meetings, meeting and more meetings. The 15th of April was our 14th anniversary and I don't even really remember seeing the poor man. His work and my meetings kept us in and out at different times, but don't weep for us! This weekend we are on a marriage retreat at Myrtle Beach! Don't groan, it's nice. We get help remembering our "Love Languages", and the kids get to play in a big room with all kinds of wonderful things, and other kids.

The chaplain takes us through the book and helps us find our personal love language as well as our spouses. Then helps us remember how we use to just do that right things to help boost the other. Most of us call it the honeymoon stage. You know when just know what the other person needs. Well then comes kids, bills, reality. That's when you forget to tell your spouse, "the kitchen looks nice", because she needs words of affirmation. Or in my case that honey-do-list that's longer than your arm is really the acts of service that fill me. My list seems much longer these days since he isn't around as much because of his work. Hand holding for him seems out too since uniforms and regulations don't permit his need for physical touches. Older doesn't always mean wiser. I forgot go watch for that one moment when every eye is turned just to touch pinkies. For him, he remembered that something as simple as putting away the clean socks is much more than a gopher drill.

This is just our first day, we still have half a day on Saturday then we'll be free for a family adventure at MagiQuest!

Until then check out the 30 second assessment and see what you come up with. The book has a much longer profile finder and explanation. But maybe you'll remember to to leave that sticky note on your honey's mirror to find in the morning, just like you use to do. Marriage isn't always easy, sometimes it take work!
