Small Town, Big Personality

All the snoring. My husband snores louder than anyone I have ever heard. In our bedroom in the basement I can hear him through the floorboards into our livingroom. He has interrupted my tv shows from the basement WHILE SLEEPING.

No one tells you that part of marriage; the part about them snoring, or hogging the blankets, the fact he likes our bedroom to be the Sahara and I need the North Pole. We never agree on temperature so one of us is always miserable. The marriage talk doesn’t come with a conversation about how he doesn’t put the toilet seat down even though you know he was raised better, or how annoying it is when he falls asleep on the couch instead of staying up to go to bed with you and how while yes it is infuriating it also breaks your heart just a little because you feel like you’re not as important as you were.

No one tells you about how he doesn’t pay attention to what is in the laundry so your favorite ‘gentle cycle hang dry’ shirt ended up in the dryer and now looks like it will fit your toddler. No one mentions the stinky feet or crusty socks that you ALWAYS find right in your way and the work boots your CONSTANTLY tripping over.

You hear about not going to bed mad, and the fact you’ll have arguments but love will get you through. Knowledge about sharing responsibilities and how communication is the most important thing in the world are what all of your cards and sage words of advice will be. “Raising children is a team effort and make sure you are always on the same page” is my favorite.

In today’s society, it isn’t uncommon for a couple to live together long before they get married. Hell in some cases there are children involved before marriage (mine). But something you don’t hear about is how saying ‘I do’ to someone changes your whole life. We lived together, my son was the ring bearer in my wedding. We had spent time together and had good times and bad before we took vows; but something about actually being married really changed our relationship. Maybe it is time, experience, or the vows themselves; I’m not sure.

Here are a few more things you may not get told when you get married; as annoying as the snoring is, it comforting because I know he is still breathing. He steals the blanket but always pulls me close and cuddles me because he knows I get hot when covered and cuddled. He forgets to put the toilet seat down, but he is the first to scrub the toilet when it is dirty. He falls asleep on the couch because he doesn’t want to go to bed without me because then he wouldn’t sleep as well.

He tries to do laundry so I don’t get overwhelmed with it, and sometimes he forgets to ask what needs to be hung up. His socks stink cause he has been running all day and working so hard. His boots are in the way because that’s where he was sitting when the kids vied for his attention and he forgot to move them before playing with them.

He still looks at me with desire in his eyes and tells me everyday how beautiful and sexy I am even though I have put on weight and don’t have the same figure as when we met. The way he plays with the kids shows me he knows how to have fun, but when he holds them until they fall asleep is the most attractive thing about him. He is protective of me but knows I can take care of myself. He does what he can to make sure I take time out for myself even when I don’t think I need it. He deals with all of my insecurities and a temper the size of Jupiter with a grin and joke, even when I don’t want him to be funny.

Being married is hard, one of the hardest things I have ever done but also one of the most rewarding; I couldn’t imagine my life with anyone else.
