Early on in our marriage I found a nice little saying.
“Love honors, cherishes and respects. In marriage, being the right person is as important as finding the right person”
It was framed in small stained glass arrangement with a small mirror centered below the quote. It hangs next to the door, and just about every day I stop and have a quick read and look into the mirror to see if I like what I see.
For the most part I do like what I see. The things that I used to not like are no longer there but have now been replaced by newer personal issues. (I do love life and all it’s offerings, trials and setbacks.)
It’s been hanging there for 14 years now and recently I asked my wife if she still liked it. “I never give it much thought “, she replied, “I am who I am.”
Her comment brought to mind some advice I received from a mentor early in my professional career. He told me that there was a huge difference between the person that had been on the job for 10 years vs the person that had been on the job 1 year 10 times.
That's when it hit me, we hadn't been married for 14 years, only 1 year 14 times, and no matter how hard I tried, I would just be marking off years.
