You and Ivan are on the right track: You both love the Lord and are each other’s best friend.

I have a library book on hold titled For Women Only: What you need to know about the inner lives of men. If I learn anything new, I’ll be sure to share it. :-0

Communicating the hard things is…hard. But that is a wonderful determination and one I want to make for myself.

Especially the hard things. After 21 years, I don’t regret that a bit. We keep trying, keep working; life brings changes, but it has all drawn us closer together. Bless you as you learn! It can and will be awesome, and yes, in some ways it gets easier, and some things get harder. But it is worth your time!!! Very much so…

This is so beautifully written. What a wonderful way to explain how we learn to read our spouse.
My husband and I struggled a bit with that at the beginning of our marriage but after so many years together we even finish each others sentences or the exact same words will leave our lips at the same time. We look at each other and bust out laughing. Thank you again for sharing.

Thanks for those stories, Melodie. That’s something I’ve been hearing a lot after this post–that communication always takes effort, all the way through. But also that marriage gets better and better with time–so I guess we’ve got something to look forward to. Thanks for commenting!

I think this is constant in a marriage…thanks for the encouragement!
