It took seven years (and four proposals to be my girlfriend) until we finally started dating in 2007. We got engaged in 2008. Married in 2009. <br /><br />I wish I could say here that things have just gotten better and better.<br />But this is not the case. We are still married. We still love each other very deeply. We have a son together. But that spark, that passion, that is gone right now. We're at the point where we're relearning to love one another for the people that we actually are, not the people we thought we were, nor the people we "knew" we were going to be.<br /><br />I am hopeful we will turn things around. It's going to take work. It's going to take time. It's going to require seeking proffesional help.<br /><br />Our story continues....<br /><br />Juan C.

I can't believe how much more I value life, chance encounters/opportunities, and just existing, the older I get. I totally agree about being best friends with your spouse. Otherwise, it would be way too tempting to ditch the hub for the girls. :)Amanda- Hip House Girlhttp://www.hiphousegirl.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385523154268826980.post-17469161591593933032011-10-07T22:05:51.477-05:002011-10-07T22:05:51.477-05:00totally agree. i remember the exact moment when i ...totally agree. i remember the exact moment when i was dating my then-boyfriend-but-now-husband and i realized he was my absolute best friend. i literally have never heard anyone say that they cannot co-exist (wha?!) and i am trying to wrap my mind around that. you are so insightful! love your blog!

We met at ages 12 & 13 so friendship was a must-come-first at that age! But we married at 18 & 19 and 19-1/2 years later, here we are. Still surviving and enjoying each other's company. It may not be what works for every couple, but in my case, it has been at the core of the relationship (besides our mutual faith in Christ). I'm so thankful for it.Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03617661053715127363noreply@blogger.com
