Remember what I said about being a real person in a real marriage?
Real marriage happened to Kirk and I this week. Last night, in fact.
It was one of those long nights that included lots of words and a few tears. We hashed some stuff out. He talked and I let him.
We went to bed last night rather silent, but we were okay. We woke up this morning the same way.
Tonight was better. We ate dinner and smiled at each other. We watched American Idol and laughed together. Every once in awhile he winked at me. Every once in awhile I winked back.
Real marriage happens. It isn't always pretty. But it is always beautiful. Because we promised to love each other through the good and the bad.
That's beautiful.

Thanks...I appreciate your honesty, Amber.
Hate those moments while they happen, but love the after moments when God seems to just gently nudge me into remembering that my spouse isn't perfect (and neither am I for that matter) and gives me just an ounce of His unconditional love to pass along to my husband. He always reminds me that although the "fires will come", we are, able to withstand it with the right focus.
Glad things are better!
Amen! Marriage is definitely give and take. More giving than taking is the key. Thanks for being so honest. Pray you guys have a blessed weekend!
