My point is, isn't marriage hard but also hilarious and wonderful and fun and ridiculous? Yeah it is. I've been loving the A Cup of Jo "Secrets to a Happy Marriage" posts. Have you been reading them? You should. Here are a few of my favorites:
"Do what you've been doing, as in, be the person you were before marriage. People sometimes think marriage is a green light to change. You think, 'Now I should buy a house, have babies, cook more at home, let myself go...' But you got married because you liked each other. So don’t go switching it up."
"Love your other how they need to be loved, not how you need to be."
"Embark on unplanned adventures. Often."
Thanks for doing a load of laundry last night Loves.

I love it, and that picture of you and Zach is sweet!
Marriage is hilarious and ridiculous. Last night on our way home from the baseball game Brad farted in the car. I think I had bolts of lighting coming out of my eyes and I look over and he's giggling.
How dirty could your place be, honestly? What people that are married to obsessive cleaners (or obsessive anything) see is that the person's obsession is more important than them and/or their feelings. Let it go, Caca. No one cares, really (except your Mom, haha).
Aint marriage grand.
I know, I know. We're both being better. I am calming down about it and he is cleaning out the litter box every once in awhile, lol.
It took years for me to realize what I just told you. So you guys are already ahead of the curve. :) Just wait til the chidern come and you will really really realize it just doesn't matter.
And it's not like I'm following him around screaming at him to scrub the baseboards. It's just been about splitting up chores since we both work full time. Ah co-habitation. Love it.
love those quotes about marriage. i feel like there is always something dumb to argue about. sometimes it takes me a while to realize its dumb ie. whether or not the kitchen is clean. i'm kinda ocd like you.
LOL he needs to come clean my baseboards while he's at it. I guess I am spoiled with having a neat and tidy spouse, Mike is way more obsessive about it than me, BUT: I know if I asked him whether he could have a neat closet space or me, I would be sent packin, bb. But I guess you just get used to each other's "idiosyncracies".
Listen, you are NOT neurotic, you are just a neat, clean, tidy person and my dear Zachito is not so neat and tidy. You are obviously just like me, in that, I have to have CLEAN in order to even think straight. I think it is fair to find a middle ground. Why is keeping a clean house called "obsessive" why the negative spin?
It's only your 2nd year of marriage...relax there are plenty more surprises to come...like when the first child arrives...lol.
