Learning this one tiny phrase and embedding it in your heart will see you throughout a great marriage.</p><p style="text-align:left;">To many couples wander into marriage surrounded with dreams of happily ever after.

It's not but at some point the fog clears and you are left with what once was the perfect human and you get...</p><p style="text-align:left;">That person that snores, leaves the cap off the tooth paste and gripes if you don't fit their ideal mental mold they have build of the perfect relationship.</p><p style="text-align:center;"><img alt="happy marriage" src="http://rhrealitycheck.org/files/teaser-images/2012-03-29-marty3.jpg" height="250" width="375" /></p><p style="text-align:left;">You of course have several options here when this person appears.</p><ul><li>Try and change them (don't work)</li><li>Get mad and yell (also don't work)</li><li>Ignore it and just stew in anger (like a pressure cooker)</li><li>Or...(what I suggest)...</li></ul><p style="text-align:center;">Just say:</p><p style="text-align:left;"><a href="http://susanjboston.com/marriagemaze/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/little-oh-well.png"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-130 align-center" alt="happy marriage" src="http://susanjboston.com/marriagemaze/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/little-oh-well-150x150.png" height="150" width="150" /></a></p><p style="text-align:left;"></p><p style="text-align:left;">You can't live with them, you can't live without them and YOU CAN'T kill em!

They hate not being able to go the concerts,ballgames,plays and all those things, they participate in through school or outside activities.</p><p style="text-align:left;">That same love a parent has that makes them hate leaving their child to go to work is the same love, that makes them do that very thing.</p><p style="text-align:left;">The love, want and need to protect and provide for those children is what pulls parents from the very children that they love so much...</p><p style="text-align:left;">Parents will put up with crap from bosses, jobs they hate, horrible long traffic jams and paychecks that are not even one tenth what that parent is worth to those children.</p><p style="text-align:left;">All for the sake of the love of their children.</p><p style="text-align:left;">Why then do parents do all these things yet, they won't even consider doing things a different way so that they can be there for their children?</p><p style="text-align:left;">The answer is very simple.</p><p style="text-align:left;">They are either afraid to try or they are living through their parents theories and concepts of the way things (should) be done.</p><p style="text-align:left;">There is no shame in building a better way.</p><p style="text-align:left;">Start today to find your way out of the trap, the maze of leaving those that you love the most when they need you more than any boss ever will.</p><p style="text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.pureleverage.com/launch/14?id=susanb940" target="_blank">Start here!</a></p><p style="text-align:left;">It can be done and you can do it!</p><p style="text-align:left;">Sincerely,</p><p style="text-align:left;">Susan</p><p style="text-align:left;"></p></div>Sweet "I told You So" Moments In Marriagehttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/profiles/blogs/sweet-i-told-you-so-moments-in-marriage2013-11-07T13:39:32.000Z2013-11-07T13:39:32.000ZSusan Bostonhttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/members/SusanBoston<div><h1 style="text-align:center;">Sweet "I told You So" Moments In Marriage</h1><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="decoded aligncenter" alt="Moments In Marriage" src="http://www.skepticalob.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/i-told-you-so-400x600.jpg" height="282" width="425" /></p><p style="text-align:left;">The moments in marriage that last forever through time. The "I told you so" moment is sweet but many times must be spelled out!</p><p style="text-align:left;">After 33 years of marriage I can surely tell you that "I told you so" moments are far and few in between, mainly because rarely do you see them unfold in front of your eyes.</p><p style="text-align:left;">Most of the time, you tell the spouse something; they don't listen then when your prediction comes true you are not there to reap the reward and...(you KNOW they don't tell you about it).</p><p style="text-align:left;">Once in a great while however you are there to bask in the glory of the covenanted words, "I told you so!"</p><p style="text-align:left;">Once such incident presented it's self to me one Sunday. I watched it unfold with glee and yet sadness...</p><p style="text-align:left;">Here's my story:</p><p style="text-align:left;">Time and time again I had told my husband to put on his seat belt of course it fell on deaf ears. The police had stopped him more than once about the same thing, believe it or not he got out of the ticket like the time...</p><p style="text-align:left;">He was driving with out the seat belt of course. He saw the police officer and started trying to put it on! (Of course the police can't see you doing this right?) LOL</p><p style="text-align:left;">At any rate the officer pulls him over ask him why he's not wearing it to which my husband says, "Because they are dangerous, did you see me about wreck while I was trying to put it on?"</p><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="decoded aligncenter" alt="Moments In Marriage" src="http://www.thebusyfool.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Decisions_clipart.jpg" height="291" width="261" /></p><p style="text-align:left;">Okay so maybe honesty does pay because he (didn't get a ticket...shakes my head) anyway later he was driving me and my mom to Wal-Mart. I was happy because it was a <strong>fun</strong> shopping trip.</p><p style="text-align:left;">We are going down a major freeway when a Highway Patrol pulls him over. Now, don't know about where you live but here those officers are just NOT known for a sense of humor.</p><p style="text-align:left;">He walks up get hubby's license, calls it in, comes back telling him he's going to write him a ticket. The officer looks at me with the biggest grin ever on my face, trying so hard not to bust out laughing then he grins.</p><p style="text-align:left;">I was torn between glee and sadness. On one hand I was gloating over the obvious, "I told you so" yet knew it was a big fine and my Wal-Mart trip just got a little less fun! LOL</p><p style="text-align:left;">Didn't really matter because Wal-Mart didn't have anything I could have bought that would have been that much fun!</p><p style="text-align:left;">P.S</p><p style="text-align:left;">He NOW wears a seat belt!</p><p style="text-align:left;">Sincerely,</p><p style="text-align:left;">Susan</p><p style="text-align:left;"></p></div>In Faith are You a Parent or Aunt or Uncle?https://syndicationexpress.ning.com/profiles/blogs/in-faith-are-you-a-parent-or-aunt-or-uncle2013-10-07T12:06:12.000Z2013-10-07T12:06:12.000ZSusan Bostonhttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/members/SusanBoston<div><h1 style="text-align:center;">In Your Faith which are You: Parent or Aunts and Uncles?</h1><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Your Faith Tree</strong></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Where are you located in your faith tree?</strong></p><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-6542" alt="your faith" src="http://susanjboston.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/faith-tree-194x250.jpg" height="250" width="194" /></p><p>Your faith in comparison to a child, is the perfect way to figure out if your faith is strong or not. Faith is a child born within many people. This faith is nurtured in it's growth by the attention given to it.</p><p>The parents they are there day and night even when not in direct contact with that child. The child is forever in the mind, body and soul of that parent.</p><p>Aunts and uncles also love their nieces and nephews however in a less intense way. They come on Birthdays, Christmas, cook-outs or the occasional drop by visit.</p><p>Parents are being parents day in and day out for the rest of their lives with total surrender of their life to the devotion, loving, nurturing and growth of that child.</p><p>Aunts and uncles are also devoted, loving, nurturing and protective of that child but more so with direct contact with the child.</p><p>People steeped deep within their faith are the parents these are the ones that constantly submerse themselves in their faith living it every single day.</p><p>The Aunts and uncles are the ones that dip down now and then into the pool of faith when in direct contact with that Faith or when in a crises.</p><p>When a person lives, breathes, eats and sleeps in their faith they are a parent. When a person calls upon that faith when in a crises they are an aunt or uncle.</p><p>Which are you in your faith?
