Married Life...

Hollywood has young, naive Americans fooled when it comes to marriage. I mean, if you even believe only half of what you see on television and in movies as to what married life would be like, you would have no clue. Hollywood shows us that marriage is all about flowers, candy, chocolates and late night dinners with bottles of wine. Hollywood's idealized married life is either from the fifties (wife at home, making dinner, martini waiting for husband) or the hurried and frantic life of two working parents always eating take out for dinner and never spending time with each other.

I'd like to think that a good marriage is somewhere in between. That a good marriage is based not only on love, but a mutual respect for each other. A general feeling of wanting to share in both the good and the bad of whatever life throws at you. The vows you take on your wedding day actually meaning something.

Well, I thought our marriage was like this. Imagine my surprise when our neighborhood girl scout had delivered our girl scout cookies and Nathan immediately grabbed a box of thin mints and samoa's and wrote the following on it:
So much for sharing...


P.S. I'm actually the one that can make my cookies last longer, Nate tends to eat his rather quickly...
