Book Give Away #2: The New Rules of Marriage
Uncategorized March 3rd, 2009
Happy Tuesday, Marriage Mixers!
I SO enjoyed giving away a few books last month that I have decided to do it again.
And again
and again.
In fact, be on the lookout, because once a month you will find a book give away on this blog.
Leave a comment about one thing you like about your spouse (even if it is something you have not seen in years and you can’t think of anything else) and I will enter your name in a drawing that will take place on Friday!

I like that my husband is a dreamer, and that he dreams really big!

I love that my husband is my biggest cheerleader and supporter. Today is our 25th wedding anniversary!
I have to confess I do not need the book for us: We are very happily married. However, we always have young adults that are unhappily married come and talk to us and we have a huge lending library for them. I’d love to add this one to the mix. Thanks!

My husband supports me, no matter what crazy idea I’ve come up with.

Hi Cara! I saw this link on your FB and had to drop by your new blog. What a great idea! I hope that you are able to help a lot of people or just offer some bits of advice or help others feel like their okay with their feelings in their marriage relationships. I have to say, even now, after 13+ years in mine, that I still find it a challenge. Almost every single day!
But more than that, it is fulfilling and rewarding and worth every sacrifice and tear that it takes!
Have fun giving away books and sharing your thoughts and stories (and other people’s too) in this new place. I’m off to read more!
Oh, and just to answer your question- because I think it’s always a good thing to say something good about my spouse and that is this: He is SO great at helping with all the ‘extras’ in our life…dropping and picking up kids from school, getting groceries, detangling hair after baths, all the stuff that makes myjob as a mom easier. I can’t thank him enough for being a great partner!
See you around!

right before my husband went out of town this week, we had a big argument. it wasn’t over anything huge, but there were frustrations vented and things said that were hurtful, true, honest, angry. at the end of it all, he did what he always remembers to do - hold me, tell me how much he loves me, remind me how he’d never be able to survive without me. i’m not a fan of “i’m sorry” when the thing you’re apologizing for is something you’ve done repeatedly. not to mention, those things are hard to hear when i am hurt or angry but he always says them anyway. but you know what? i am thankful that he says them anyway. it has often turned my anger or frustration to forgiveness even if he’s not totally aware of it. he is the kindest, best man that i know and i will forever be thankful that i found him.

The way he can make me feel so safe.

I love that Dan is very even-mannered. I tend to be up and down and he is so steady, thank goodness!

This will crack everybody up, but I really love it when my husband wears long pants! We live in Hawaii and he goes to work in shorts every single day. Sometimes on Friday nights, when we’re just going to watch TV and drink margaritas, he’ll put on a pair of jeans. I give him “the look,” and he says, “I knew you’d like that.” Then I say, “I knew you’d know.” And then we start laughing and Friday night begins….

Please include me in your giveaway. I love how my husband takes my car and washes it and fills it with gas.
Thanks

I love that he has been helping me so much since I threw my back out.
