Being married for sometime now, yes five long months, I have been flirting with the idea of writing about what marriage is really like, so perhaps this is my jumping off point for putting all the newly learned wisdom into print. So many books talk about how hard the first year is and how difficult it is to get used to living with someone, and boy are they right. It is so hard to wake up next to my best friend every day and fall asleep to him every night. Not to mention all the fun we have in the hours in between. The true hard part however about marriage is all the little things no one tells you...
Like how if your spouse tends to move in their sleep you have the potential of introducing your eyeball to their elbow...
Or how suddenly now that you live with a boy instead of your girls they expect more than a bowl of cereal for dinner,....
Not to mention that they are a one man show when it comes to handy work. They can suddenly install 100 lb tvs and 50 lb microwaves which they have to hold while simultaneously screwing it into the wall all by themselves. I now have no sympathy for older men with back problems, all I can say is if it were up to the wife they would have hired it done, and their back would be just fine. Quit blaming some fake old sports injury and just admit it is the direct result of a stubborn head.
