Hubby and I will be married 20 years in Sept. In all of these years we have never failed to kiss each other good-by in the morning (even if the other is sleeping), and good-night before going to sleep  Every day when hubby is leaving work, he calls me to say "I'm on my way home". He does this every day. I've asked him "why do you call to say you're on your way home? He just says "I don't know, I just do". Sometimes when he calls and says he's on his way home; I'll say (joking) ok, I'll tell that other man he better go now (laughter). Sometimes I'll answer the phone, knowing it's him calling to say he's on his way home; and before he can say anything, I'll say: I hope this is you calling to say you're on your way home, cause it's about time, you been gone forever. Hurry home. I have yet to call him to say I'm on my way home, unless I'm stuck on the highway, or running errands after work. On his days off, and I'm at work, he calls to tell me when he's going outside to cut the grass, if he's going to the store, etc, just in case I call home and he's not there. My spouse had an affair several, several years ago. I forgave/forgive him. He doesn't have too spend eternity making it up to me. I trust him. I love him. Enough with the phone calls already..... Now yall know a sister would get an attitude if I didn't get my daily phone calls and kisses.  God, I love that man. Twenty years and growing stronger. Covenant love. |

;D Ain't no shame in my game! I freely confess, and tell it before the devil does, that on any given day I may find myself in any one or more of those categories I posted: with PLENTY of company, of both the married and single variety! LOL! T2SP:That "taste of testimony" is gonna bless and encourage somebody! I've said it before and I'll say it again: you are a truly blessed woman of God with a very wise husband! |

"Ain't no shame in my game! I freely confess, and tell it before the devil does, that on any given day I may find myself in any one or more of those categories I posted: '...folks who wish they could be, remember when they usedta be, and are mad that they ain't "sliding on satin sheets!'with PLENTY of company, of both the married and single variety! LOL!" Keita, you mean that we can actually have -do- that and be genuinely, radically saved?  I always liked that line of Bill Cosby, in an episode where his wife - on the show - complained that he never wore the satin pyjama that she had bought him. He answered: "I love them, but I can't wear them because I slide around inside them all night!" When it comes to "wish they could be - have been/used to be" I think I'm at that stage! Stop laughing, it ain't that funny! |

Let's just say that "experience" has taught me that I actually prefer silk for that very reason! Girl, yes it is that funny (at least sometimes) and I'm soooo glad that in you, I have a sister who sees and gets the humor!  |

It is funny, and it is important - sometimes - to be able to laught at ourselves first The expression "whatever floats your boat" takes a whole new meaning in those PJs when I turn left and they keep going right Affection, to me, is very important in a relationship and more profound than we think. Affection is sometimes just a look, across a crowded room, that says "I'm with you", affection will send you in the kitchen and make you crank up that stove and get in your pots and pans just because he said this morning "I want me some soul food", affection is an arm wrapping itself lightly around your waist just at the right time because you almost fell in that spot last time, affection makes you leave a love note by the coffee pot late at night, because you will be asleep but still there for him, affection does not need a calendar to pay attention, affection makes you go back in the store where you just stood in line forever and a day just because you forgot his favorite candy, affection makes you smile back when he comes home because, regardless of how late it is, your day has just begun... Affection makes you do all the little "just because" things that we always remember. Affection, to me, is what keeps us in love with the one we love |
