I wasn't impressed by or even attracted to Slice for the first six years I knew him. i never got any "butterflies" that most people think are so important. And now he crashes on the living room floor at 8:30 PM on Valentine's Day, after a dinner of Velveeta shells & cheese.<br /><br />He has his faults, and I certainly have mine. But I know he loves me and I appreciate everything he does for me and our little family. Over the years I have realized that love is a CHOICE - a verb and a choice.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13697768042555599145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31849511.post-56699702091100981092012-02-15T02:56:07.542-08:002012-02-15T02:56:07.542-08:00After reading this, I looked back at your comment ...After reading this, I looked back at your comment on my post about engagement planning, and communication is definitely key! I think so many couples start out as friends for that reason. There's no game-playing, no "best behavior" dates, you're already so honest with each other and used to sharing. Even though this is not my particular situation, the honesty and openness was there from the beginning, and for me that was the major difference between this and past relationships.<br />You add so many books to my "to read" list, lol. I need to reciprocate soon!BlondeInFrancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12931640652874076974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31849511.post-45750520238101341432012-02-14T13:23:06.097-08:002012-02-14T13:23:06.097-08:00Nice one!!

So sweet! I love this post too. And although I haven't been married that long in the grand scheme of things, it is SO true that the constancy, companionship, help with babies in the middle of the night, and the friendship are what I treasure the most about my marriage. Although intimacy is pretty awesome. ;) I will share with you the first part of the story of Crystal and Stuart, because I definitely didn't have "butterflies" with him much before his mission. ;) Great post! Marriage is definitely a leap of faith, one worth taking, especially if you add the Lord to your partnership!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912285219129652350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31849511.post-33280567325942248132012-02-14T12:17:15.220-08:002012-02-14T12:17:15.220-08:00Michelle, this is so spot on!
I never thought of...Michelle, this is so spot on! <br /><br />I never thought of Chris as boyfriend material (not that he wasn't), until we started to get to know each other on a platonic level. Neither of us is perfect by any stretch, but we compliment each other so well! He for sure helps me improve and that's ultimately what marriage is all about.

I think you're right about the butterflies, I'd take not being annoyed over them any day!Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05778197609468239627noreply@blogger.com
