Gayle and I have 25% of our children during the next few days. So, we took our youngest son to eat dinner at Taco Bell, ice cream at McDonalds, then swimming at the YMCA. It's fascinatingly scary how two adults with one high-powered son can have so many minutes of space when 75% of the kids are on vacation.
After tucking Gabe in bed, telling him a story about how his mom and I met, we cuddled and prayed. Then I sat in the hallway to finish some bizdocs while my little man stopped squirming.
Gayle swiftly came upstairs, batted her blues, and said she nominated me to share five random things about marriage. I kicked my head back, scrunched my nose, shrugged my shoulders, and chuckled to myself...that's easy...sex on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Then, her all-knowing eye shook me out of my carnal male wish list for some second thoughts:
-
Gayle's got a quick whit that offends the Pharisee in me.
- I've shared with my lady all things carnal, spiritual, dark and light, poopy and rosy...and she takes them all in stride as a woman of virtue…then uses it for blog fodder.
- Marriage is the only earthly relationship that reveals the depth of our sin and the height of our passion. The latter is my favorite.
- Periods are not only for sentences; they are a reason to eat chocolate.
- There is always a reason to eat chocolate.
This most likely isn't what Gayle's looking for... it's definately not worth writing home about and won't make it to a Hallmark card but, these are my five random thoughts about marriage.

oh no...those were NOT random. Those were some deep facts that are just plain true.
esp. the chocolate thing.

So from a man's perspective- what's good about being married? What qualities do you appreciate in your wife?
What do you do to make it work?

The original tag was for 8 things about your marriage. In my house that would be Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and twice on Saturday.
