We’ve been talking about relationships – married or not – relationships are sometimes like mine fields especially when we are irritated! So, do you say something immediately – or do you wait until you’ve calmed down – or don’t say anything at all!? What’s your experience or advice?

A SECRET TO A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE:

I do believe this attributed to 31 years of Blessed marriage for myself and my husband:
HOLD HANDS ALWAYS!!!
GOD BLESS YOU TWO ABUNDANTLY IN YOUR NEW JOURNEY TOGETHER!!

I’ve learned so much this past year! I learned that i’ve held so much anger, bitterness in, that I’ve built walls around me (imaginary walls). These walls where so strong that my husband wasn’t able to get through them for a whole year!!! Back then, when he would try to make things right, he’d just turn around and kick me in the butt. He’d make the same mistakes and at that point I had given up. I tried for years to talk to him and to tell him that I was hurting, and finally I felt like I didn’t even know who he was, I didn’t like him how could I love him. I remember thinking wow, I don’t even think I love him anymore! Through the last year and a half I’ve learned that I should have never given up….I should have pushed forward and should have lead the way if he coudn’t, wouldn’t and plan just didn’t want to do it….but it was too late…I had already done something that I would regret for the rest of my life! This past weekend Susan you were at New Hope Church out in Pearland and I attended this Women’s Event…OMGosh…..it was so good to dump my baggage…(and no dumpster diving has been done)!!! it was such a relief to let it all go and to know that I wasn’t only one who had this weight on my shoulders…I’ve been working on my marriage, along with my husband for the last year and a half…it has been turmoil and my sweet daughters (10 & 6) have seen it all. Ya see my husband found out about the affair, of course right after it was decided to break it off. I thought to myself, that doing this was going to make me happy, and that nobody could judge me, because I held on for so long and that it wouldn’t hurt anyone, but boy was I wrong!!! It didn’t, it just made things so much more harder. I’ve seen something in my husband that I never thought that I would ever see….he did ultimate…he forgave, he found Christ, and we found New Hope Church….we have gone up to the prayer partners almost every Saturday after attending service. With our children, so that they could understand that mommy and daddy are really reaching out to God and that we do love each other. Oh man, I am so blessed because my husband took it all as a lesson, a hard one to learn, a hard way to learn, but he did it!!!! I have learned so much, and am still continuing to learn!!! I just want people to know that don’t give up, even when it feels like the sky is falling….you might be surprised….I’m just now getting to point that I’m starting to like him again (my hubby), even falling for him again….Pastor Tim and his crew have been such a blessing to us! You Lady, were awesome for me and I tell myself to remember to put my mask on first!!! I have learned to breath again, too! I have never listed to KSBJ…until this morning….I am feeling so good….thank you for helping me to trash that baggage….now my kids might have an easier time giving me kisses and hugs…I love them so much! I God so much! I told Pastor Tim how great you were for me and he was all smiles!!! Susan I’d like to send you more pictures of my boy Rocky, yes I was the one that went straight up to show you a picture….=) I’d like to see a pic of your baby too! Thanks again sister!

At our house we have learned to look for humor in situations. We are so OPPOSITE that we approach everything differently. This creates many opportunities for conflict. In our 25 years of marriage we have learned to lighten up and laugh. Then we can approach a problem with a smile and an open heart. Life is way too short to blow it away in anger.

I have a nice who loves Mike so much .She is 16 years old and dating. A few month ago, there was a contest where KSBJ DJs would make voices and someone was supposed to identify the person and win. Well one of the guys identifyied Liz Jordan and said that she was marrid to DK. Well it happens that at the time she was just engaged. Mike told the Guy that he was right just a slight technicallity that she was not married but just engaged otherwise he won.
Mike we have argued about this with my niece who loves you so much and thinks that being married and being engaged is just a small technicallity otherwise the two parties can do pretty much anything they want except they havent gone to church. Could you please in the most loving way tell my niece that being married and dating or engaged is as different as you and Susan are.!!
love you guys

not sure what the last remark meant….” Could you please in the most loving way tell my niece that being married and dating or engaged is as different as you and Susan are.!!” I’m sure you meant that in the nicest way.
