What Makes a Marriage?

I was reading something the other day about a couple that literally splits everything down the middle.  Married for a year, they will have a waitress split their check. At the grocery store-half on one card, half on the other. Electric, cable, rent, etc, etc-all 50/50. They even take separate vacations.

My knee jerk response was-huh? Does she have a husband or a really cool roommate that's willing to chip in?

My secondary response was-Hey, Chris-that's not cool. If it works for them, who are you to judge?

And then a young woman put it pretty clearly.

Someone blasted everyone that didn't agree with the author. This reader does the same thing with her husband-everything down the middle. She goes on to say some vacations she wants to take her husband isn't interested in, and vice versa. That marriage isn't about money-it's about communication and trust. She says her money is just that, HER money.

So another young lady comments:

You say it's about trust, and yet you don't even trust him with your bank account info?

Good point.

But surprisingly what stuck out to me was the separate vacation thing. Being a stay at home mom, our marriage has a different fundamental. Without Roy paying for almost everything-we have nothing. Ok-there are lots of two income families, so not combining finances isn't that foreign to me.  That being said, even when I did work Roy never said much about the money I earned. It was never all that much, certainly no where near what he earns-so that old adage-what's her's is hers and what's mine is hers. He laughs it off.

BUT, I couldn't imagine vacationing without my husband!  I just don't get that. Sure, maybe Disneyworld wasn't his first choice, but making me and the boys happy makes it worth it for him.

No, our initial cruise wasn't my first choice, but I wanted to give it a shot for Roy and the boys-and though I LOVED it, had it just been 'ok,' it would have created some amazing memories for me, because my guys had so much fun.

Are Beer festivals my first choice for a day out with Roy?  No, but HE loves them, and I love experiencing something that he is passionate about with him.

Does Roy care if I buy some clothes online?  NO, but he gamely watches me model them and offers advice because he likes making me smile.

Think back to a few days ago, when Lady Gaga fails to mention her fiance. Many people thought it was no big deal, and yet THAT is the person you have chosen to share your life with-isn't winning that award a major milestone in your life?  I have written a few books, it took me years to get the courage to put an entire story down on paper. Even longer to tell my family, "Hey! I did it." Roy didn't help me write it, but he was there encouraging me every step of the way.

On a lesser note, it's that same mentality of some women hating when their partner says, "We're pregnant." He isn't carrying the baby, why does he get the glory?  

Simple, he was there, and if he's truly your partner, he will be there every step of the way.

Marriage has never been truly about compromise-in most situation someone gives in-whether it be a little or a lot.  Marriage is often about sacrifice, and yet when you are with someone that's worth the sacrifice-it never feels as if you are giving up a thing.

I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.
