Sometimes I think I've got it "all figured out" and if we would just do THIS and THIS, things would work perfectly. But, for some reason (smile), it just doesn't wind up to work that way. For instance, he used to be DEAD against any form of organization. He didn't like being dictated by anything (including a list) or keeping things in order of any type. SLOWLY but surely he has seen the benefits of having systems in place. It has been a LONG grueling road, but every so often he mentions things (like the menu planning) that shows he's beginning to see the fact that being organized isn't so bad. :-D We are so close, it's hard for me to implement something without his whole-hearted approval. I know if I can keep pressing in & be as organized as I possibly can, he will eventually follow by my example. ANYWAY, marriage is difficult, but I love my best friend!Mercyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00426081295307182182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31368018.post-16509393605019035802007-03-22T09:04:00.000-07:002007-03-22T09:04:00.000-07:00It has taken me 10 1/2 years and counting to figur...It has taken me 10 1/2 years and counting to figure out my husband...the most important thing in our relationship is communication. We don't always agree on everything, but when we communicate effectively and lovingly there is a greater understanding between us both. <BR/><BR/>For a long time, I would get up and make a "sit down" breakfast for my husband which was--2 eggs, 1 slice of toast, and some kind of fried meat--his "stand up" breakfast is a egg, cheese, and meat sandwich on buttered toast. However, recently with my pregnancy and homeschooling I have been quite overwhelmed with all the tasks. Communicating these concerns to my husband helped him to understand my "weakness" during my pregnancy and eased some of my duties that seemed overwhelming--like make a sandwich every morning.<BR/><BR/>I want to do these things for him, but with homeschooling and pregnancy both, I am not as able...and he understands.<BR/><BR/>I still make him lunch and a homemade yummy dinner, which, I agree, nothing is better. So, I don't feel bad if I don't DO everything right now.<BR/><BR/>To change the subject, thanks for pointing out to me about being more specific...I edited my post so I was more specific. I have been following along with Large Family Logistics reminders (LFL yahoo group). <BR/><BR/>Blessings!<BR/>Heatherrunningtothecrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311425135649134602noreply@blogger.com
