The difficulty with forgiving someone is so hard, but there seems to be peace. I really enjoy your insight on this. I’d love to read more on this topic.<br /><br />I recently stumbled upon another blog like I stumbled upon yours and I really appreciated their insihgt. I thought you might enjoy it: http://burisonthecouch.wordpress.com/2010/11/17/forgiveness/<br /><br />I’d love to see more like it. Thanks! <br /><br />-MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240135571858542479.post-15806072892290862412007-02-07T11:04:00.000-05:002007-02-07T11:04:00.000-05:00You're right - compromise doe not relate so much to "work" as it does to "battle." That's for another post!<br /><br />My daughter will soon be 22 - she has gone through a run of BFs since HS - but I feel each one has been an "upgrade" in terms of a good fit for her. The latest has been her beau for four years, all through college. Nice enough young man, she could do a lot worse - but I still don't think he is a good match for her. We'll see what happens.<br /><br />Me? I tripped over the first guy I met in college, went out with him four years and got married ten days after college graduation - the rest is history, LOL. I knew exactly what I was looking for in a guy, even at 18 - and he was it. He is still "it" for me :-) Ok, is this officially too soppy now?

You are SOOOOOO right! Actually, in this little post I was trying to come up with other verbs that could be exchanged for work (energy, nurturing, effort, etc) but I think I should start a list of all sorts of things that are required in marriage, because you are so right, a great marriage takes lots of other things...forgiveness, compromise, dedication etc. etc. <br />And... WOW... 29 years! Congratulations! Please feel free to share your experience whenever you feel inspired! The more thoughts and examples the better! XOXO, jen<br /><br />Ohhh also, I have had quite a few people tell me thay want to share my "how to tell if a guy is a jerk" site with their teenage daughters! I'm keeping that in mind when I write! :-)Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04593797320592103928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240135571858542479.post-22653911943757556622007-02-07T10:14:00.000-05:002007-02-07T10:14:00.000-05:00Hi dear - just popped over to see your other blogs. Both great - I should tell my daughter about the "How to Tell If the Guy is a Jerk" one!<br /><br />As for this - there's one crucial thing you omitted - compromise! Both parties need to give and take, on occasion. Looking forward to celebrating our 29th anniversary, this May - so I guess that's some sort of credential, LOL! (btw I got married when I was five, LOL)<br /><br />But even at this point, can still learn something here - especially since we are now "empty nesters" and are exploring a new phase of our relationship. I'm very relieved that we <i>still</i> like each other!Sunflower Optimismhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04797860099404871043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240135571858542479.post-44661760905213474992007-02-07T04:12:00.000-05:002007-02-07T04:12:00.000-05:00marriage=works=responsibilities=action<br />:)comey_lotehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03036692099038590565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240135571858542479.post-82191986344888185872007-02-04T19:28:00.000-05:002007-02-04T19:28:00.000-05:00Hi Romain...<br /><br />Ohhh you just inspired me to write a post ..
