I couldn't have given a crap about baseball--but what we do for love :) If you are completely bored ask Bear to teach you how to 'keep score' and cherish the look he gives you back! It helped me learn the game which was a great thing, because now my 2 boys are little league all stars and I am the rockin' mom in the stands that knows what is going on! So you just never know what the future will bring. The most important aspect of you post though in my mind that has keep my marriage really strong is the fact that you were on a 'date night'. I cannot stress this enough to keep having regular date nights and alone time to strengthen your relationship. Even when super busy, they are essential.

Sure we had our bumps along the way, but with a strong, genuine love, there is respect for each other and a desire to please, so you swallow your pride, own up to your mistakes, talk it out with each other in a respectful mature manner, and then have sex.

This is you relying on your gut. The gut ain't always right, but the gut learns from past experience, and it gets smarter as life goes on. Good on ya, sister. This is better.

But as Dawn said, I can't be responsible for his reaction to this blog. He will likely just skim over it and say it's "nice" and then move right along. If not, I hope he can appreciate the story I'm telling here because this is his story too. We've both grown a lot since the day we were married.
