So every relationship has that period in the beginning thats all hot and heavy like in a romance novel.  Usually you will find me reading super natural or fantasy type novels but today I will admit I was wrapped up in a romance novel.  It got me thinking and even wondering, is this what women expect or desire their relationships to be like all the time?  I like to think no, but thats just me.

Years ago my husband and I had that stage where he chased me feverishly and we were the entirety of each other’s focus.  Now fast forward to three busy kids, two in school and a screaming toddler, both of us self employed and busy with our lives and our relationship is quite different… well in some ways.  Now we bicker about silly stuff like money, chores, and yes, even who has to choose the restaurant (both indecisive about this).

With all of life’s daily distractions though all Josh has to do is walk up behind me while I am making lunches for the day and kiss my neck and I remember.  I went and had dinner with him tonight before he went back to work for an evening meeting and after we parted ways he called me just to say thanks and I remembered.  He tries to play me a love song on the ukulele, that he has no clue how to play, and I remember.  We cuddle up for some TV at night and he runs his finger tips along the curve of my back and whispers how lucky he is and I remember.  It’s the little things he does every day that makes me remember we are the stars of our own story, and I am madly in love with the hero.
