Laura Carter 1. 33.119 years 2. Yes and only one! 3. 16 months dating 10 months engaged 4. Parents, marriage counseling by my pastor 5. Kitchen & housework. Finances. Son’s rebellion at 18. He heart is in a dark place right now. 6. Loving & learning about Jesus together. Daily moments together. Vacations together. 7. Housekeeping, Finances, home, family, future. 8. Sorry won’t do that again. Love you. You are the best. You’re my best friend. Glad I married you. Hubbers. Babbers. Glad God brought us together! 9. Shortened the engagement time. Removed the lazy buttness! Get off your butt & help each other. 10. Wives DO NOT NAG. Do the job yourself. Help with yard chores. It is your yard too. Do not talk about him unkindly to others. Do not put him down to others. He gets enough of that from everyone else! Build him up, encourage him. Husbands help with the housework. You live there too! Do not put your wife down in front of others. Encourage & build her up. Both of you, in daily talking those who love each other are not usually trying to hurt each other. Take the words or actions from a positive point of view. The other person probably doesn’t even know they have hurt you. Your habits, family training & backgrounds are different. You both have bad habits that need to change…change yourself. Ask God to remind you what attracted you & why you married that person in the first place. He Will! Ask God to not let any bitterness grow up in your heart against each other. DO NOT TAKE OFFENCE! Turn off the TV, gaming machine, computer, hobby…Listen to each other… Go on a picnic & talk. Discuss everything, buy things together, don’t hide things (except gifts that you will spring on each other later). Take date nights away from the kids, away from your daily world. Words spoken to Tom at our wedding, “ Where you go I will go. Where you live I will live. Your people will be my people. Your God will be my God. Where you die I will die. Lord if I don’t more will happen to me.” From the book of Ruth 1:16 &17 33 years ago God put us together & I married my best friend. I made a promise to Tom & to God that can only be broken by death (and Murder is unacceptable. Hehe).
