[quote=Anonymous]There is a saying

"Choose wisely, treat kindly."

Re choosing wisely, I was ready and ok with the idea of being single forever.  That's a good quality because one then doesn't get desperate and settle.  Also, re choosing wisely, I chose someone who--yes, we had the chemistry--but he was also kind and sweet and fun and had a work ethic.  Basically someone who is loyal, and who would make a great dad.  All this is so important because there are lots of tough times in marriage and childraising.  Courting is the easiest time because there are no other obligations; so if it's rough-going during the courting phase, it doesn't bode well for the marriage.

Re treating kindly...just remembering to invest in the relationship, and I think we both give in to the other and are not going for the short-term win.  We are both trying; trying for the other; and looking at things from their perspective, not just our own.  And gratitude is huge.  I think about how grateful I am for my DH, a lot.  Actually, I thought about that last night, when I was so pissed off at my DH I wanted to kill him, LOL.  Stopping and being grateful diffuses all that.  What I was mad about had nothing to do with anything serious, in the scheme of things.[/quote]
