Utility Bucket

Is Your Marriage A Three Ring Circus

Is your marriage suffering? I discovered that it is possible to find contentment every day. Despite the length of your marriage you have the power to wear your marriage mindset daily.

How long is your mental list of all things she does wrong. What does she do that really ticks you off? How many days have you lost to anger and resentment over your spouse’s bad moves? How important are those teapot tempests if you thought this was your last day with her?

I can’t squeeze my truck in the garage because the eddie bauer convertible is parked too far to one side. It is an accepted part of my daily ritual that I will have to move her car before I can park.

I put a special children’s bucket next to the bathtub. I explained that I wanted all of the baby bath toys to go in there after each bathing session. I have told her that I should not have to fish out the toys so before every shower.

I know that she gives away useful items without telling me. She gave my home space heaters to the local senior center. She donated my workshop tv to an assisted living center. My stuff.

The day she was overdue from her daily commute I was worried. The snow was piling up, there were lots of fender benders being reported and she was not answering her cell phone. Hours went by before she arrived with news that she was trapped in a construction delay on the highway.

Her small acts of annoyance did not seem important. I made a list and turned them into positives. I was positive that I did not car where she parked as long as she made it home each day. I was certain that the number of times I was grateful she was the mother of our children outnumbered the toys in the tub. She can give away all my heaters because she provides the warmth to our shared life.

My attitude is one of gratitude that we have a friendship that caught fire years ago. I talk to her like I would a friend at work. I kiss her at least once a day. I make sure to tell her that I love her daily. I’m in love with my best friend. They have a name for that and it’s marriage.
