My husband and I will have soon been together for 25 years. Yes there have been ups and downs, that is what has drawn us closer together. Do we get on each others nerves? Oh boy! Do we! But learning to give and take is one of the real secrets and success to marriage. Yes, trust, love, and patience are on the top, but we sometimes forget that we are still each our own person. Little things that we did when we first met but not noticed, show loudly down the line and start wearing on each others nerves.
How do you deal with it? By taking one day at a time and to accept that the person you fell in love with is not going to change. Why would you want them to? They were that way when you met them, and admit it, that snore that sounds like a freight train coming through the bedroom was kind of cute in the beginning. Remember, our partners (and our own) little idiosyncrasies are what make US who We are. Embrace them!
It's you I like,
It's not the things you wear.
It's not the way you do your hair,
But it's you I like.
The way you are right now
The way down deep inside you
Not the things that hide you
Not your diplomas...
They're just beside you.
But it's you I like,
Every part of you,
Your skin, your eyes, your feelings,
Whether old or new.
I hope that you'll remember
Even when you're feeling blue,
That it's you I like,
It's you yourself, it's you
It's you I like!
