Author: MInTheGap
When you looked at marriage as a kid, you looked at the idea of two people who were in love and that would love each other and live together forever.
That is, of course, the ideal. Marriage was created to bind two people and make them one—physically, emotionally and spiritually.
The vows that are said on wedding day are more than just empty words that sound good, they are a promise that is made between life partners about what the other can expect for the rest of their life.

My Partner Can’t Do Anything Right
Author: MInTheGap
We’ve seen it on countless sitcoms—from the Dick Van Dyke show to the present—where the wife that’s at home continues to make mistakes. She burns the food, leaves an iron mark on the shirt, and ran the car into the pool.
Today it’s the man—he’s a bad dad. He can’t do anything useful. He wouldn’t know how to clean a dish if he were standing in a bucket of soap and water.
The Evil of Comparison
I Know All There Is To Know
Author: MInTheGap
You were married. You have lived together for sometime. But at some point—and we all reach this point—you decided that there is no longer anything new to learn about your spouse. Indeed, you’ve stopped learning about your spouse and have decided that there’s nothing new to learn!
The problem is that you’re both changing people. You are both a product of what is going on around you, and your opinions and feelings about things may change. So why is it that the people that are closest to us stop trying to learn about us?
It’s all About Me and My Dreams
Author: MInTheGap
People have dreams. No, I’m not simply talking about that time you ended up in front of your school giving the speech of your life in your underwear, I’m talking about goals, wants and desires.
There are things that each person wants to do, what they see themselves doing with their lives and what they want to become.
It’s these dreams and goals that help make us who we are, they define us, and they halp us to feel successful when we reach them.
Space, The Final Frontier
Author: MInTheGap
Do you have to know where your spouse is 100% of the time? Is he or she only allowed to do things that you want to do or that you approve of?
Now, having somewhere specific and knowing where your spouse is can be a good accountability system, but if you or your spouse has to always report in, and does not feel that they have time that they can call their own and space that they can call their own, you’re probably setting up “the perfect storm.”
Do You Know His Hobbies?
Author: MInTheGap
You may believe that your husband should have his hobbies and you can have yours, and that both of you can be happy pursuing your own thing on your own time. To some extent, it was probably true. You see, you both entered into a relationship with things that you liked to do.
However, you both learned to do some of the things that the other person liked to do, and you spent time with each other. That time that you invested in your spouse is part of the glue that holds you two together.
What you do together increases your feelings of love for each other because it associates positive experiences with that other person.
He Got His Ears Lowered
Author: MInTheGap
Do you want to know why this man is angry? Because his wife noticed that he got his haircut—today. He had it done the day before.
Have you gotten to the point in your marriage when you begin to not notice changes in your spouse? Perhaps it’s weight they’re losing, or the fact that they are wearing something that they like.
You need to make sure that you pay attention to each other, and you don’t get to the stage where you aren’t admiring what they look like.
Especially if they have a twin!
Happy Anniversary, Sweetheart
Author: MInTheGap
It was eight years ago today that my wife and I said “I do” in a small church that was her home church. We had met online and she came near to my hometown to go to college.
I proposed to her on February 6th, nine months after we had begun dating, and we were married July 7, 2001.
Three kids later, with the fourth on the way, I can say that I love her more each day, and that I’m so blessed that it is she who is at my side—and that’s no lie.
