Welcome to the first edition of Significant Other Saturday! I am excited to be teaming up with Rachael @ You, Me, and Natalie for these weekly posts/link ups!
"No significant other is perfect and it doesn’t really matter. What matters is how we set ourselves up to think about them. If we focus on their failures, their annoyances, or ways in which we have felt hurt by them, then we will interact with them as a hurt and frustrated and disappointed partner. That makes for miserable living for ourselves and our partner and those around us. But if we focus on their strengths, their potential, and the ways in which we feel blessed by them, then we will interact with them as a forgiving, blessed, and contented partner. And there’s no greater need a partner has than to feel respected by their lover. If they feel like all they do is hurt, disappoint, and frustrate, then the same atmosphere and the same actions will be perpetuated. But if they feel that their partner can be happy and responsive regardless of their own shortcomings, they feels respected and empowered. Then a positive atmosphere is perpetuated and actions, once destructive, can improve in an environment that is rich for cultivation and growth into deepened respect and intimacy."
Significant Other Saturday is a day in which we can all get together and remember why we fell in love, why we continue to love, and why we will always love our partners. Too often we take our relationships for granted and just expect them to be there. We are challenging you to be attentive to your relationship and tell us all about your partner and why they are so special to you!

You can read "Our Love Story" here, but as a quick synopsis. We met in high school, started dating 11.24.06, got engaged 2.17.09, and married 07.31.10.
He's born in June like me, but he's a year and 18 days older than me. He's a firefighter/emt, loves sports (watching and playing; he's super competitive), fishing, building, tyring/making new things (homemade), and likes to cook (he's far better than me in that department). He loves comedies; especially anything with Will Ferrell in it.
He's an amazing husband who I love sharing and spending my life with. I love him for Eternity!
