My husband just started making his own potato chips. They're delicious!!
🥰 best husband ever!
Are they living together? I'm guessing they're at least not celibate, which actually creates bonding hormones between them, (not to me tion the spiritual aspect of soul-ties) these make it much harder to end things even if one person isn't sure.
It usually also has to do with not knowing what marriage really is, not knowing what one wants out of life, and believing the lie that it's easier to stay with the wrong person than to find the right person. So, a kind of poverty mentality when it comes to finding a good spouse.
Women often say, "all the good ones are already married", but it's usually just because the good single guys don't hang out in their orbits because they're not the most mature and awesome women. 😬
Marriage is so much more than just a piece of paper. It's a coming together of two people in a bunch if different dimensions, physically, spiritually, emotionally, hopefully intimately by sharing all of ones secrets with each other.
I knew about marriage intuitively, but I only recently got explicit words for it.
It's not supposed to be about the government. It's about two people making a covenant with each other where they are going to choose their commitment above their feelings.
Hollywood taught us to fall in love with someone we've never met but saw across the room.
What marriage really is, is a partnership between two people. A choice to go in the same direction for the rest of one's life.
So, picking a good partner is vital.
Figuring out what one wants out of life and how one is is also vital before being able to make such a decision.
Learning to grow in love instead of falling in love is how to keep it good for a lifetime.
Also, some people think it's about the wedding, or romance, but it's way more about who you wanna sit next to after a long hard day, grocery shop with, going to the dmv with. Paying taxes with (so yes, money is impotent too)
Raise kids with. Even if you don't want kids, if you end up with one, is this person someone you'd consider going through that with?
Good times, bad times, sickness and health, and so on.
However we usually don't hear or think about that part except in the vows.
What are your dreams and what is your adventure that you are inviting someone else to join?
My husband did this, and since he was going in a similar direction I wanted to go, it's working out great!
I'm writing a book about "How to prepare yourself for marriage," and started by delving into "what marriage even is". It's a covenant between two people and God, as you said.
I dated someone long distance for almost 4 years. He had told me in the beginning that he'd seen people dating for years before marriage and that's what he wanted. We'd already known each other for a few years, and he would bring up marriage at times, but not in any urgent sense.
After about 3 years, he mentioned how someone he might consider having as an officially only married people who had gone through a certain course first.
He initiated talking about it and saying he'd get the course if I got my own work book... I did and the he felt pressure and didn't seem that interested anymore. He did buy the course and we did one lesson, and then I eventually got him to do one more, at which I realized he wasn't doing it correctly, and was blaming me for certain things that were supposed to be about him.
The reason I didn't break up with him was because he was my precious best friend, and I didn't have anyone I vibed with around me.
In 2020 he suggested maybe breaking up but I was about to leave for work so I asked if we could hold off on making it FB official, but his response was, Yeah I guess we can try again (referring to me changing even though he was the one with issues and I had no intention of indulging him anymore.)
After getting more local friends and spending a ton of time with Jesus, a few months later he brought it up again and I accepted on the spot.
After that I focused all my energy on fixing what had caused me to be stuck in such a toxic relationship, and met my husband about 6 months later and married him 68 days after our first date.
I had no intention of being a girlfriend anymore, I was ready to be a wife and my husband was ready to make me one. Best decision ever, and best man for me ever! Also, I was only his girlfriend for 6 days before he upgraded me to fiance 😎
I much encourage the 2nd type of dating that's super intentional than the casual uncertain kind!
I'd rather put all my money in the bitcoin basket than try to carry a bunch of different baskets that other people constantly bump into or decide to take back, regardless of that I had in the basket (fiat).
Apparently Bidan decided that when a president passes away, the flag should be at half mast for 30 days.
I wonder if he (or who ever is making all the decisions around him) made that decision because they wanted it for Biden whenever he passes.
30 days is too long!
At a certain cold temperature, the first layer of clothing stops being a layer and basically becomes a hide that you put other clothes on top of 🤣
How to prevent more fires in California:
1. Fire all the democratic government leaders.
2. Hire some sane Republicans.
3. Go on a bitcoin standard
Wait, is that the guy in charge of wordpress? I thought wordpress was a relatively neutral company that simply focused on giving people a place and way to make easy websites.
Now I feel sad.
After having been married for a few months, maybe a year, my husband noted that I was talking a lot about food.
Well, part if that was because I didn't used to be very good at knowing what I wanted to eat, and I was practicing noticing.
I'm still not that good, as most of the time, I just was "food" but sometimes I have food scent memories, and sometimes I see a picture in my mind of something tasty.
Just now I saw a big plate of spaghetti and my moms ground beef sauce in my imagination.
It used to be my favorite food, and I haven't had it in over 2.5 year, maybe longer!
I'm hungry, I want it now! 😔
She's only 8 timezones away, so shouldn't be impossible to have some in say, the next 5 minutes, right?!?! 🙃
Babies arrive at conception, and come out at birth.
Oh no, I think my latopt battery has decided to give up 😭😭😭
At least the laptop itself seems okay still.
Well done!
"Hours of operation"
I didn't know they performed operations at KFC! 🤣🤣🤣
When life gives you lemons... sell them and buy bitcoin 😎
