Well tonight my Wife and I are going out to celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary.
It has been pretty rough for us lately, a few pretty big arguments and things of that nature. I guess every marriage has those.
Twelve years seems like an eternity, but we are both determined to keep our marriage together and we have a wonderful son who will be 5 this summer.

I did some planning and I set up a dinner reservation for a special anniversary celebration that includes something I hate.... dancing.
Yeah, I can't stand it but she absolutely LOVES it. We took some ballroom dance classes a few years back and we have been practicing all week.
I just want to get out on the dance floor and fake it for a while so she can enjoy herself and hopefully I won't embarass us both too badly.

It will be a fairly expensive night out, at least for me. It is actually a dinner cruise. 3 hours up and down the Potomac River looking at the views, window seats on the boat and a 4 course dinner with a live band and dance floors in every area of the boat. We get a picture taken when we board.
It will be a new thing for me, I have taken her all over the country but never out for dinner and dancing.
I hope I survive... she is a great dancer and I can be really awkward since I don't do it much.

Just wanted to share, for those of you who I consider to be friends.
I hope we celebrate a few more anniversaries together... hopefully every year for the rest of our lives together.
Have a good weekend everyone!
(our anniversary is actually the 3rd... tomorrow, but I don't want to stay out until Midnight on Sunday ;) )

Congratulations! God, I can't even remember where I was 12 years ago! LOL! I think I was in the 3rd grade... Man, that does seem like an eternity!
that does seem like an eternity!

Oh! Uhh....good!
12 years ago I was... um... let's see, somewhere in my late 20's I think :D

I got my Foxtrot moves down... now a little Waltz practice and a prayer ;)
Ahh, dancing can be a lot of fun especially with the right lady and most especially slow dancing! I remember my first first slow dance with a pretty girl in Jr. High. I can't remember the girl's name to save my life but I sure do remember that dance.

Now after nearly 22 years my wife and I still love to slow dance but we usually make our own music........... :p
Have a good time together tonight. My wife and I celebrated our 7th this year....though we've been together for a total of 13 years. We had also seen our share of arguments recently. These have been worse arguments for some reason, and we never really bring them to an end.

I am not ashamed to admit that my wife and I sought marriage counseling from a professional. He gave us some tools to help understand why we were so very frustrated at each other, and useful tools to help communicate better. After several sessions we are doing better than ever, and have begun to really enjoy each other's company again.

Husbands and wives don't always speak the same languages, it would seem. We both love our child more than anything, but found it necessary to devote more of our attention and time to our own relationship. After all if our relationship dissloved our child would silently suffer more than anyone.

Before I ramble on forever, my point is: remember your marriage and your wife are important. Don't hesitate to find a real fix to the problems you face. I'm not sure my wife and I would have ever worked out our troubles without a professional helping us. Just my .02.

Happy anniversary! :thumbsup:

Yeah, that's the type of dance where you can never get close enough because something gets in the way...:hotdog:
Congrats on the anniversary. My husband would be rewarded nicely for an evening such as the one you have planned. ie: I wouldn't bitch when he wanted to spend an entire day watching football. Or golf. Or soccer. Or the National Spelling Bee....
Congrats ewill !! :thumbsup:

Congratulations Bill! 12 yrs. an eternity? He he, your an amature. I have 2 1/2 eternities under my belt, but I have to give my wife credit for that. I hear you loud and clear on that dancing thing man. I'd do the dinner thing, but dancing? Your a better man than I. :thumbsup: Have a great night. :kiss:

Lesley, you had me when you said "My husband would be rewarded nicely for an evening such as the one you have planned":worship:, until you said, "ie: I wouldn't bitch when he wanted to spend an entire day watching football. Or golf. Or soccer".

I forgot what is was like to be romantic or even give a rats ass trying to please your mate. Nevertheless you are on the right track and I wish you all the luck. It takes a big man to do things you dont want to do for love. Trust me, I dont know smack about that. :highfive:
