Reading your ...Sipping an early-morning diet coke. Reading your newest post. This sentence made me stop in my tracks. "Love is alive when it is giving, dying when it is exchanging and dead when it is taking." Gulp.<BR/><BR/>In trying to cope with the never-ending responsibilities of parenting, I have started thinking in terms of, "If I do this, then I want this." If you get a night off this week, I would like one. If you spend two hours on Saturday morning playing Ultimate Frisbee, I want two hours off in the afternoon. We have had so many negative interactions because I insist on this type dynamic in our parenting realtionship, and it is killing our love. I believe this is currently my biggest obstacle to happiness in our ten-year-old marriage. The survival of our marriage, in part, depends on me breaking this thought process.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Jen, for reminding me that love gives, not exchanges.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632257997073091925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-58054524453613509932009-02-10T23:50:00.000-06:002009-02-10T23:50:00.000-06:00Oh!
