I've been married for eight years, and we are still getting along great, and having fun most of the time! Some ways that we keep things alive...having a date night at least once or twice a month. We get a sitter and go out to dinner, or wherever with just the two of us, and talk and play without the interruptions from our little darlings. We also have Friday presents - we alternate weeks, and buy each other a gift. It does not have to be anything big - lots of times my Friday present is a bouquet of flowers and dinner fixed by my dh. It can be anything from a paperback book to a surprise night away somewhere. It keeps things fun, and gives you something to look forward to all week.
Nerves - I think everyone gets on my nerves at some point. But the question is, is it big enough to let it drive me crazy? Most of the time no - usually we just take some space in a different part of the house for a few hours. I've pretty much learned when to leave him alone, and he knows when to leave me alone! And we try to keep irritations lighthearted when possible...example... are you going to empty the garbabe today or shall we just start using the kitchen floor?
I just knew from our first conversation that this was a man that I could marry. Funny - he felt the same way!
I just tell him when he is bugging me or making me mad!
At times, I feel like I should lose some of this baby weight, but it will all come in time. DH still tells me I'm beautiful even with the few extra pounds! But I am good enough, regardless!
