10 year’s ago I got married to a wonderful man. I know it sounds so cliche, but really, he is a great guy and he’s gotten better as we’ve grown older. He’s intelligent, funny, adventurous, kind, compassionate, a great dad and a really awesome friend.

I think back to the day we got married and everything was so simple then. There was just the two of us and our modest home. Ten years later, we’ve got 2 kids, bigger house, bigger debt, and bigger issues. The great thing is that we’ve learned to communicate effectively and stay committed to each other at the same time we have a great time and laugh and enjoy each other’s part in our lives.

I’m very lucky that the guy I married still loves me and thinks I’m beautiful albeit I’ve kept some poundage from the two kiddos, I like to nag and remind him to do the dishes before going to bed, that I’m his alarm clock on the weekends and I like to cut his video game playing time short.

As I reflect on how he’s affected me in the 10 years we’ve been married, I think I made out with the better bargain because he’s made me a better person.
