“I don’t care about the length of the journey. I don’t care if it takes us uphill or trough valleys. I don’t care if we have clear blue skies or stormy weather.
As long as I am traveling with you I am good.
Forever and beyond.”
Reba McEntire was asked:
What makes your marriage work?
Reba’s Answer: Respect. We highly respect each other. We like each other. We love each other, but that respect has to be there. I respect his judgment and he respects mine. I think that is one of the strongest things in a relationship
My thoughts: EXACTLY. I am a true believer that without mutual respect a relationship cannot work. I also believe love can bloom again as long as there was respect while the relationship was there. But if respect was lost while I don’t think that trust will ever be built up again. Or at least it will be very, very difficult to do.
As I look back at my relationship with Andrew I believe at first there was mutual admiration and respect. Withing a short time that admiration and respect disappeared in the wind. I think after that we stopped liking each other. As for respecting each other’s judgment? I most definitely respected his. Did he respect mine? I think you know the answer.
Baby, I have a secret I have never told you.
At night, when you come home and think I am asleep,
Many times I am not.
I wait to hear your soft breathe of relaxation and then I turn to you and caress your face.
You are my husband.
I know you don’t love me.
But I feel blessed the Lord has put you in my life nonetheless.
At times I sing softly to you.
Romantic love songs.
Other times I tell you about my day.
It is the only time I have with you.
Because you don’t think I’m worth the light of day.
I swear that it should be me laying on this bench holding this sign. I don’t want to discuss the details. It will only serve to make me cry.
Have you ever wanted something so badly but knew it was not yours to have? Something that was already taken, a heart and object, a jewel? For me it was a man. The question is…did I simply leave it at wanting him?
