Who gets the “Little Pink House”?

In the news this week John “Cougar” Mellencamp and his wife of 18 years are “calling it quits”.  Frankly I hate that phrase.  Why do people think “quitting” is so much easier than “fighting”?  Maybe it’s because we’ve become a society of wimps and wussys and YES I know what that last word means.  Sorry, but I’m tired of people NOT realizing what is and isn’t worth fighting for in this life.

Marriage is hard work, period. And yes sometimes you have to fight for your marriage.  Laura and I had a fight (ok heated disagreement) just the other night, and yes it was about one of the big three in marriage (Money, Sex, and Family). I didn’t like her at the moment and I’m positive she didn’t like me!

What did we do about it?  We cooled off and talked the issue through…you know like responsible adults.  You see every marriage is going to be filled with disagreement, hurt and disappointment because we’re all humans and that’s what happens. The JOY of marriage is fighting through the pain, and hurt and disappointment in order to build a life together!

Fighting with and for my bride!
