Marriage Tips....

Well, It has been a little bit since i have been on. So let's see what is going on..
Aaron went to St. Louis on Wed and Thurs. He got free tickets to the Cubs-Cardinals game. He took 2 of his friends with him. He left early Wed and got back Thurs evening. While he was gone I just hung out with the kids. He had a good time.
Right now I am listening to the kids running back and forth thru the house after each other.. Gavin has one of Aaron's hats on and Carlee is chasing him. It is so cute!
I have been into reading about the Scream Free Marriage stuff.. here are some of the ideas they give:

Marriage is suppose to be tough.
Marriage is work. We have been lead to believe in fairy tale romances. But it is JUST in the fairy tales. But it is work with all on the job training.
Marriage is suppose to be built on respect, intimacy and mutual responsibilities.
We are responsible for our own happiness not our spouse. Don't expect your spouse to make you happy all the time.
Marriage asks us to grow up so we can speak up without becoming childish or demanding.
The key to building all healthy, nurturing relationships is to first focus on yourself.
You are the one and only person you can truly control.

These are the first few things they go thru. I don't know about you, but focusing on yourself is hard. Especially when you are a mom too. And who doesn't want to have a fairy tale romance?
I will share some more Ideas with you all next time.
I am going to go get the kids ready for bed and try to relax some.
