I want to switch gears in this post. For most of the post in this blog I write about how much I love my little girl and how much I want her to learn and know and what I want to teach her as she grows up. But this time I am going to talk about my husband, yes my husband. Before I married him I asked myself "Is this someone I can live the rest of my life with? Someone I will enjoy waking up next to every morning? Is he somebody that no matter what he says or does he will always be the one I want beside me? Is this someone that I can grow old with." I did not ask myself "Is this someone that I want to have children with?" What I think so many people don't understand is that children grow up and yes they leave home eventually it may be marriage, or it may be college, it may even be the military, but the fact remains they do grow up and leave home. Your spouse does not. They are there (or they are suppose to be there) for the rest of your life. Today so many people see marriage not as forever. The marriage vows are "Till death do up part" If you say you've been married several years is almost unheard of. I think it is wrong for a couple to get married just because of the children, or try to hold the marriage together by having a child. I'm not going to say that it never works, but I will say 99% of the time it does not work. I love my little girl with all my heart but I understand that one day she will leave, that is what I and my husband am preparing her for. I only hope we prepare her enough. When she does leave and start a life of her own I will have my husband with me and that is just the way I feel that it should be.
