Now. This being said, I have made a promise (and a handshake with my hubby) that I will write a blog once a week. It may be about how much I hate city drivers, how much I miss home, trials I've overcome, or which ever new TV show I'm obsessing over on Netflix. It will be at random (as most things in my brain are) and it will be awesome!
I have always loved writing. But I've always felt that what I've had to say wasn't witty or clever enough. To that I raise you a big fat I don't care anymore! I'm going to school, working, playing on weekends, missing home, and chasing around my 23 year old ball of energy that I call my husband. I can't deprive the internet world of my adventures! So lets dive right in.
Health 1100. Utah Valley University. Orem. We are learning about relationships and I was assigned to write a paper interviewing two married couples. I was to write about how they met, how long they had been together, trials they've faced, how they overcame them, and their advice to other married couples. I received some of the most profound advice from these four individuals. I learned that even though the world accepts divorce when things get hard (sometimes that is the appropriate action) some people still believe that when things are broken, you fix them... not throw it away.
This is part of my paper that I have submitted.
" I felt so much love and kindness from these two couples. I adore their stories and their advice. I have learned that every relationship goes through hard times. But that rising up from those hard times is really what makes that bond stronger. Communication, respect, selflessness, trust, and putting your significant others needs in front of your own is some amazing ways to strengthen your marriage. I think that every couple is different. There are similarities, but each relationship is as different as the individuals with in it but love is a constant. Call me a romantic if you will, but I still believe that love conquers all."
I was able to learn a lot from these people. And for their privacy's sake I'm not going to talk about their responses but I'm going to wrap this up with the most influencing part of these interviews. Both couples had a resounding thesis statement (HA! high school english. I DID learn something) That if your personal happiness comes from seeing your loved one happy, then you're doing something right.
I hope you continue to read my ramblings that I call blogs.
Thank you for reading!
Until next time...
