All right it has been awhile since I have posted last, so I thought I would add my latest thought for the day. Just recently my wife and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary. I am particularly delighted to have made it 10 years. Well I also noticed that in the last 10 years, I have seen a crapload of marriages come and go. Well what is the magical secret to our success? I like to use an old saying passed down from my father. "We both wanted a divorce, but we couldn’t figure out who would get the children…..I wanted her to have them and she wanted me to have them!!!!"
Well one thing I have discovered about the chic that claims half of my paycheck is that she may look like one of us but she is definitely different. I think that is where most guys get confused. When they look at a woman, they assume that because her features are about 85% the same as ours, that they are like us! Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! They are nothing like us. It's kinda like a Californian. When you first see one, your like yeah they prolly just like us. Then you talk to them and nope they're not!! Lol Sometimes I watch on TV and think just what has gotten into those people over there. Then I remember that is just California
A woman explodes up and thinks, I'm gonna make coffee, put on makeup, get dressed, walk to car, drive to work, walk to office, start up the computer, play a game, do some work, read a book, call Suzy, tell Suzy about what happened the night before, go to the bathroom, Call Suzy again, go to the car, drive to sonic, eat lunch, drive back to work, call Suzy, play computer game, finish work, go home,……etc…etc…etc….
What have we learned from this exercise, we now know that the term thinking outside the box was created by a man describing a woman. He said that is a box. She said that is a beige square toaster box that needs took out with the trash! Yeah yall may be laughing, but I bet yall have all been there! When I first got married, I thought yeah I'll have this broad figured out before too long and it will get easier. Lol. Man did I learn that wisdom comes with age! They don't want us to understand them. It takes away from the mystery of "The Woman." You see woman get tired of the ordinary. They assume that if they don’t like things to be routine and smooth that neither do we. Which is wrong! We want things to make sense. We just can't convinse them that they are wrong. So they intentionally mislead us. I call this my "The sky is blue theory." I say, "Hey honey, the sky is blue." She says, "So you think these pants make me look fat huh!" What the hell!! I think she knows what I said, but it is boring to her so she assumes I said something else.
Well now we are making progress. We know that they are nothing like us. Once again I have to quote my father and say, "They are a different species!" So now I just accept that I know nothing about her. I know that some days if she is at home by herself she gets some much needed me time. I also know that some days if she is at home by herself that I should have been there! Lol How do I know the difference? I don't!! I just wait until she tells me! Which she will. So that is the secret. Why stress about what you don’t know. Whatever happens in life will happen. I believe life is exactly what we make it. Well that is 50% true for a marriage. You can only control your half. The other half is up to them. I was thinking the other day that my marriage is kind of like the poem about the footprints in the sand. A Christian was curious as to why there was only one set of footprints when times were bad and Jesus said well that was when I carried you. Ours is kinda the same way. There was times when we walked side by side, times when I carried her, and times when she carried me. There was also the drag marks on the times where we had to drag the other person! Yeah it happens!
