Not an Option...

I saw Will Smith on a talk show a while ago and he said something that I though made perfect sense:

WILL SMITH has found the perfect way to keep a marriage on track - rule out divorce.The movie star has been married to actress wife Jada Pinkett Smith for a decade and insists they'll never split because divorce isn't an option for them.He explains, "Divorce can't be an option - it's really that simple. If you just remove the option... because, if you have the option, one day that person's gonna make you wanna divorce."That's been a huge part of the success for she (Pinkett Smith) and I... We're like, 'Listen, we're gonna be together one way or the other so might as well try and be happy."

Anyone who is married knows that you go through cycles with your spouse. There will be days that you are head over heels in love - but they will more than likely be few and far between. Real life happens....and from my perspective people tend to take their feelings out on the people they love the most .....there will be days when you dislike/hate your spouse, when you don't get along, when nothing seems right. I have only been married for just under 1 and 1/2 years and I'm not going to lie, we have already had our struggles. Something changes when you get married. Maybe there is more security so people stop doing the little things and take each other for granted.

My philosophy.....it's going to take work. Your going to have to work at your relationship EVERY SINGLE DAY. I think I'm pretty lucky and have one of the good ones...he is willing to work on it with me...... most days anyways ;)

New years Resolutions??? It's Jan 7th and I wondering how many people have fallen off their target already. I kinda hate this time of year, as the gym is flooded with people....unfortunately due to a sprained shoulder I haven't been able to hit the gym yet in the new year, but I am resting up and healing - I plan to run a Triathalon in August (my resolution) and I need to make sure that I'm healthy! I am continuing to fight through it a bit and do cardio ....but I can't wait to get back at it full force!
