The Perfect Couple

I walk a fine line when writing this blog. I never know how much to put in about our relationship and who we are. If I put too many positive thoughts, then we must be living in a state of denial. If I put too many negative thoughts, I am not grateful/thankful/happy enough and I'm too bitter. But I sometimes feel as though I'm cheating this blog out of our actual relationship. So in that spirit I asked for the Marine's permission blessing to write this post. He gave it to me. Kind of.

I skim over the difficulties in our relationship on here. I try to mention them, but never go in depth about them. Who really wants to read about them anyways? I sure don't. The bad days aren't something I want to dwell on. All the same, I don't want you to get the impression that I am always great and happy about things. That I've adjusted brilliantly. I'm always happy and our relationship is always in a "honeymoon" phase.

Those things simply aren't true. If I were to tell you about what all happened in the month of December, this post would be exceptionally long. I know that because I already wrote it out and deleted it. The Marine and I fight. I mean we fight. Not little arguments over where we are eating dinner or what time we are going to Skype. No we fight. As in we aren't speaking and are ready to bite the others head off.

I planned on writing about some of the days that we suck. But now I don't want to. We have bad days, yes. But that isn't what I want to focus on and it's not what I want this blog to focus on. So while they happen, they aren't going to be what I tell you about. Not because I want you to think we have a perfect relationship. Definitely not that.

We struggle all the gosh darn time. I will do my very best on here to make sure it doesn't seem like we have a perfect relationship. I shouldn't have to try too hard to make that noticeable :) but I will also not bog you guys down with all of our hardships. Maybe every once in a while I will give you one to ponder, but for the most part probably not.

Here's to cherishing the good and remembering the happy!
