Braggin' Wagon Wednesday: 7 Year Itch

Sorry the picture is blurry, but that's us making out while tubing at bear lake!

According to divorceform.org 65 percent of marriages fail! I don't know how true this is, but that is a sad number! It also says that the average marriage in the US lasts just 8 years (I thought it was 7). Well, this Saturday Scott and I will celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary, and I'm pretty sure that we are not headed to divorce court any time soon!

I don't mean to brag (okay, I do, this is braggin' wagon wednesday), but Scott and I have a perfect marriage and relationship. (knock on wood). We are so HAPPY together that I could burst into song! I joke that we should teach classes on how to have a happy marriage. I seriously have nothing to complain about. Scott is absolutely fantastic. He's patient, sweet, loving, pleasant, funny, ADORABLE and 100 percent perfect. I can't believe I am lucky enough to be with such an amazing human being.

How can it be a perfect marriage? This is how. We encourage each others good qualities, even when they can be annoying (He's a perfectionist, while I am very punctual), and embrace the flaws (he loves my big ol' booty,and deals with my occasional use of swear words, while I think his mole-eye is so dang cute and deal with his absentmindedness). We are both very laid back and don't sweat the small stuff. In our entire marriage we have never had a big fight, and with the extremely rare small fight, we easily just let it go. Its not fun to be mad, so why would we want to be. Also, this sounds cliche, but its true. We always think of the other person. For example: If Scott gets up for a drink, he asks me if I would like one also. If I need to get something from the store, I'm sure to ask Scott if I should pick up anything for him. We spend as much time together as possible and actually enjoy it, but allow each other to have time for our own hobbies and personal interests.

Scott, I love you and I am so happy that you chose to be my eternal companion. I know we will probably have some sort of issue at some point in our marriage, but I have absolute confidence in our relationship and know that we can make it through anything. Thanks for being the best husband in the world and for making me happy EVERY SINGLE DAY!

PS..Remember the 9 out of 4? Legendary!

Not that I don't love my husband, but you sure sound more in love with yours :) No what you said is a good reminder of things that I should be better at. Overlooking the bad and always thinking of each other and not getting stressed over the little things. Happy 7th Anniversary, did we really get married that close to each other? We got married on the 3rd (and I didn't even blog about it, shame on me :) Love the making out on the tube by the way.
