WORD ASSOCIATION GAME:
So I'm expected to follow that post?!?! Thanks Tiffany! LOL. I must say that it shows that you and Eric are truly best friends.
Ok now me....LOL (oh Lord what is Candi about to talk about)
I will play the association game.
Hmmm....a word that I would associate with my marriage....let me think..........CHALLENGING! :)
It's so funny, I was recently at a cousin's wedding and while at the church waiting on the ceremony to begin I leaned over to my sister and said "Damn, people still doin' this? Really!?" and of course we broke into laughter because we both knew our cousin (the Bride) had no clue what was ahead of her. Sounds kinda mean, but hey it's the truth. LOL
If it's one thing I would have appreciated was someone telling me prior to getting married was just how hard this sh*t is! (please don't be offended by my half curse word) Tell me the nitty gritty, hold nothing back, and don't put a bow on it. But I guess you have to live it to understand it, huh? Maybe that's why people are still getting married. :)
My husband, Deran, and I have been together a total of 7 years, married for 4 years and it feels like 20! (*insert straight face emoticon here*) We've been through ALOT just like I'm sure many of you married couples out there have been through as well. It hasn't been easy and no one told me that I would want to choke my husband about once a day...LOL...(ok, not that often but it's alot...haha)
But it is hard. And it is work. It is hard work and with all jokes aside, marriage is a roller coaster and you have to know there will be bumpy times, scary times, happy times, crying times, laughing times, "you better leave me the hell alone before I say something" times, lovey dovey times, bonding times, and the list goes on. It takes strong communication, commitment, compromise, reassurance, sorry's, constant rejuvenation, lots of forgetting and Love :)
Deran is actually sitting next to me reading this post and he approves this message. haha
Anyone else want to play the association game and describe their marriage?

The 20 Best Things You Can Do For Your Relationship
MARRIAGE:
Let's play the word association game. What words would you associate with the word marriage?
Commitment
Compromise
Companionship...
I believe it is fair to state that the words you relate to your marriage are dependent upon how many years you have been married. Newlyweds have a different perspective from others who have been married for five years, twenty-five or fifty years of marriage.
Eric and I will celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary this July. I can think of many words, but my number one word for my marriage is friendship. Eric was my friend then and he is my best friend now. It is my goal to continue to make the choices to ensure he is my best friend twenty years from now.
