Marriage

Doug and I were married a year on the 22nd of May. The time sure went by fast. It is hard to believe that I have been out here for over 2 years now. We sure have been through our ups and downs. I was married for 13 years in my first marriage and already I have had more happy times with Doug than the first time I was married. I sometimes wonder why my first marriage did not work and I have come to many conclusions. None of which really matter anymore. All in all I know I did a great deal of growing up in the 8 years I was a single mom. I was not mature enough the first time that is for sure. It takes two so it was not all me. I have learned to deal with things with a great since of responsibility. When I say it takes two I really mean it. You can not do it all by yourself and you sure should not bring other people into it as they all will side with the person they are friends with related to or whatever.
Doug has taught me so much about life and relationships that I though was all fairy tales. Do not get me wrong my life is not all roses but it is so much better and I actually enjoy life. I sure miss my children though. Doug is very head strong and that was hard to get used to but he has this soft gental loving side to him that is so very awesome. I never realized a guy could be like this. I see what Tanya has found in Rich. I was always amazed at their relationship. Mine is not like that totally but so close. It really help to have that kind of companionship with your spouse. It makes life so much better and easier. When you are happy life is so much better. I give god all the credit. I thought god never wanted me to be happy. It is so true he answers us when he is ready.
