A few little things I've learned in 17 years of marriage

Married to the wisest and most godly man I know for almost 18 years makes me a happy woman.  Along the way, I've learned a few little things......and some big ones.

15. We do, indeed, act just like our parents.

14. Laughter smoothes over many irritations.

13. Each anniversary is worth celebrating.

12. There is always, always more to learn about your spouse.

11. Long, open conversations after the kids are in bed are trust builders.

10. Lack of sufficient sleep is a sure creator of unnecessary spats.

9. A good marriage is made up of two good forgivers (Ruth Graham).

8. Love is an action, not a feeling.

7. Staying in love is a choice.

6. The Bible has the most specific and simple instructions for married couples of any book out there.

5. Dreams shared make them more likely to be realized.

4. Parenting children together is a bond not easily broken.

3. Praying together regularly strengthens commitment and love.

2. Honest and pure intimacy is vital.

1. True love is a bud as newlyweds, but with time, becomes a flower in glorious bloom.
