Great lessons!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04459265311205890622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327115642045835307.post-65988455412532339492011-04-19T01:42:16.845-04:002011-04-19T01:42:16.845-04:00This is something I can attest to. If you want to ...This is something I can attest to. If you want to be loved and appreciated you have to give love and appreciation. And you'll find if you dwell on the positive rather than the negative, you'll soon have more and more positive to dwell on. <br /><br />Start small. Be patient. And remember, honoring your husband doesn't mean agreeing with whatever he says, it means being respectful and kind -- and always treating him the way you want him to treat you.quillyhttp://quilldancer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327115642045835307.post-65697710711386890472011-04-18T17:57:37.632-04:002011-04-18T17:57:37.632-04:00Ouch Ouch Ouch!

And I confess that as I read this my first thought, after the why should I when he doesn't, was how in the world am I supposed to fit THAT into my schedule! God just keeps messing with my priorities! :) Love you!Beth Zimmermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07047047792782914757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327115642045835307.post-44541809185601583792011-04-18T12:51:25.534-04:002011-04-18T12:51:25.534-04:00I think after 26 years, two kids, some hard times,...I think after 26 years, two kids, some hard times, a derailment or two, and busy lives....we've gotten away from it and it's hard to get back.<br /><br />If I haven't told you before...I admire your marriage and take inspiration from you and Brad. :)Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316595488903619354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327115642045835307.post-71163990455316100742011-04-18T12:41:17.469-04:002011-04-18T12:41:17.469-04:00You have been married much longer than I, but I do...You have been married much longer than I, but I do things to take care of Brad all the time. And anything he does to take care of me is fawned over. I don't mean sickly fake praise, but gratitude.<br /><br />He likes that and so do I. It makes us both recognize that we have to take care of each other, and we will until we die.<br /><br />I look at submission as a way to get along and agree. Dyeing my jacket--the one thing of mine he hates, was worth the try AND we got a good laugh out of it. Worth submitting on that one!Ellen aka Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892924619560880572noreply@blogger.com
