Most people go through this. That moment when your with a group of people, drinking, having a good time and you say something that sounded totally funny in your head, but came across offensive.
The other day, I heard something that bewildered me. I heard this phrase "Enjoy being a newly wed because that feeling doesn't last". I am sure the look on my face showed it all. My bewilderment, and my irritation.
"Enjoy it, because the feeling doesn't last"?
Why wouldn't the feeling of being a newly wed last? It should always last. Whether you have been married 5 days or 65 years, that newly wed feeling should never fade. I wanted to say to this person "Maybe you married a man who doesn't know how to make it feel new anymore" but of course, I held my tongue.
This bothered me a great deal. Knowing that someone would actually say this to someone. Besides the fact that I indeed am a newly wed, just made it that much more irritating.
Think before you speak.
I thank God everyday for my husband. Whether it's a fabulous day or the worst day, I still go home, hug and kiss him and thank him for all he does for me and most importantly for us.
Marriage isn't easy. It takes a lot of hard work, compromise, and communication. But the Beatles were right when they said "All you need is Love".
