But Mr. C. inspired me to post some thoughts on love, particularly those that I had on a wedding anniversary with my Man...and of course, interspersed with a few images of romance...
Top 10 Anniversary Confessions
We have not changed…we have just reverted back to who we were before we tried to impress each other.
 |
| Juliet's House |
We have not
obeyed…we
are still trying to figure out who is the Boss.
We have not
cherished…unless
of course you count the new car, the diamond necklace, the sailboat and all the
other tangible, but useless stuff.
We have
lied…we
never really liked yard work, football, live jazz, liver pate, Speedos or
potpourri.
 |
| Ahhh, Venice... |
We rarely
converse…if
we really talked about anything serious, we would have to make stuff up,
because we are too busy “doing” to talk about it.
We are too busy…if we slow down, we may actually have to relax, which may lead to enjoyment, which may lead to less stress, and we won’t know how to behave.

| My hubby's morning present from the garden... |
We are not patient…we have not perfected the long-fuse theory, opting for the more conventional “I want it and I want it now” technique.
We have
judged…
neither of us is as righteous as the other one thinks they are.
We have not
loved…we
spend our energy worrying about whether we are following the greatest
commandment, but forget that among our neighbors and ourselves is our spouse.
We have not forgotten why we married…
Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; It does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account wrongs suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth; (love) bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. I Cor. 13: 4-8
Thanks for acknowledging my post at Chubby Chatterbox. Congratulations on your twenty-five years together. Like all successful marriages, I bet you two work at it and don't take each other for granted, most of the time anyway. Have a great weekend.
