I always tell John that as long as we both keep communicating while we're changing and growing, we'll be okay.Minnesota Matronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16565431067927240183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19488047.post-51194358627284954222008-05-22T21:51:00.000-05:002008-05-22T21:51:00.000-05:00This is so well written, Angie.

It is interesting to me, having only been married for 3.5 years - we just came out of a rough patch with flying colors, but I'm sure there are more to come. It only makes sense, because people grow and change, and so should the relationship and agreements grow and change - - otherwise it couldn't last - - even if you stay in it. <BR/>Anyway... thanks for this.KJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08490843203917062841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19488047.post-31234594310370290972008-05-22T12:24:00.000-05:002008-05-22T12:24:00.000-05:00Angie, with wisdom like this coming from you or th...Angie, with wisdom like this coming from you or the cards, or both!, i see only love and growth coming out of whatever issues might come up for you and your husband. <BR/><BR/>keep on striving, loving, and growing together, separate but equal. <BR/><BR/>"You shall be together when white wings of death scatter your days.<BR/>Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.<BR/>But let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let winds of the heavens dance between you."<BR/><BR/>Kahlil Gibran<BR/>The Prophet, On MarriageAkkirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12448133755067849396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19488047.post-38140071284452864552008-05-21T21:15:00.000-05:002008-05-21T21:15:00.000-05:00Hang in there.

I too am lucky to have a guy that will hang in there despite our great differences and will eventually hear me, once I have gotten clear by first venting to some women. 40 is just too empowering. ; )Madeline Rainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05075400838213199585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19488047.post-37679081210128563602008-05-21T20:51:00.000-05:002008-05-21T20:51:00.000-05:00Hey, I don't think you're nuts.

And I have a close friend that does too :) They can be a great assett if used right!<BR/><BR/>And as far as the rest of it...I know what you mean. So far most of my changes have been involving my whole family...but I have a strong hunch that when my youngest gets into school and healthwise the two young'uns are on the up and up I'll be in the same boat. <BR/><BR/>So far in every change I've made DH has been wildly supportive (even when they were private changes he didn't understand), but I'm sure along the way there's going to be more than a few bumps!!<BR/><BR/>You're wonderfully lucky. We both are. Let's both continue to find the joy in that...even on the mean and ugly days!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931133460067630762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19488047.post-85949075985002788282008-05-21T13:34:00.000-05:002008-05-21T13:34:00.000-05:00Peaks and valleys, baby.
