You know....I have been doing a lot of thinking about the "institution of marriage" The institute that people SWEAR up and down is a brilliant thing that should be revered and worshipped and treated with the utmost respect.I agree.However I also agree that there is a major problem with exactly WHAT the whole process entails and HOW a person or a couple is supposed to accomplish this glorious feat.I mean come on...There are shows and there are sitcoms and there are movies and books all saying how a couple was able to make it through and none of them are the same and no formula is the same...And do you want to know why? Because it changes per couple by the second. I love that man you see up in the corner and I would do anything for him. At the same time he irritates the shit out of me and makes me want to kill him and leave him and run away. All at the same time. How can someone that you adore one second ...Infuriates you the next?And that is just the INSIDE forces. What about the outside forces? What about the other women/men? What about the temptation of the internet? The temptation of co-worker/neighbors/friends/etc? What about the media and the television and magazines that preach a newer younger model every day? How on earth can any of us possibly keep up let alone compete? The answer is....WE CANT. So what do we do? How do we combat it? How do we move on? I don't know. I only know that you have to wait until tomorrow.Each day you live it and you deal with it and you have your breakdowns and your elating and your happiness and your disappointments....And you wait until tomorrow. The promise is that tomorrow will change how you feel and how he feels and if your lucky very lucky neither of you will sit long on the negative. If your really lucky then neither of you will lose sight of the fact that once upon a time your love was blinding...And you can see that glimpse every so often.
And if you cant....Then wait till tomorrow. Cause tomorrow may show you something different. The irritation may fade and the love will shine through. If you give it enough time.
So while you all see the man up in the corner sound asleep looking too through with life in general...I see the sexy man that I fell in love with....The man that I wouldn't want to face tomorrow with out.
And also the man that irritates the living shit out of me.
But I love him...For today...And hopefully tomorrow too.
