THE ONE THING MY FOREVER DOESN’T TOLERATE FROM ME

Matt is super laid back. Let him do his thing and he’s great. Like really. He requires very little to be happy. He’s super tolerant. But one thing he doesn’t accept. Since day one. He will not. He does not. And I’ve worked VERY hard to fix it. And I’ve done pretty well if I do say so myself.

Have I built it up enough? Are you ready to know what it is?!

Here it is…

Can't isn't a word in our vocabularies.

It is unaccepted and will get My Forever furious in exactly no time at all if you use it.

We have taken can’t out of our vocabularies and switched instead to, ‘I’m having difficulty’ or ‘can i have help’.

Matt can think of a solution for everything. And so can you. Maybe that solution is asking somebody else for help. Whatever it is, remember that more than likely somebody else has or is going through the same thing. There is a solution. Don’t be discouraged. You can do it!

EASY! 3 STEPS TO FINDING A PERFECT LIFE MATE

Forever is a long, long time. When we walk down the aisle and pledge the rest of our life to somebody, that’s a long time. I meant it when I said it and I hope you did too. For those of us already living out our happily ever afters, this isn’t for you. We have kissed our last frog. These tips are for those of you that are living in single land. Seriously, put the work in first before walking down the aisle.

I have 3 considerations for you when contemplating forever with your person:

  1. MANNERS-Is he a gentleman? Is she a lady? Does he open the doors for you? (I know super archaic, but really does he? Matt opens doors for me, mostly and it makes me smile every time. It’s not that I can’t do it myself, he just cares enough to take care of me in that way all while expecting me to change my own flat tires. I’ll take what I can get.) Does she make you feel like more of a man? Does he tell you, you’re beautiful? It’s the little things and if you aren’t doing it while dating, I highly doubt it’s going to happen when you’re married.
  2. FAMILY-Y’all it’s super true, you’re marrying each other’s family too. His mom isn’t going to change. Her dad isn’t going to suddenly think you’re good enough for his baby girl. Are going to be able to eat turkey on Thanksgiving together? If not, you need to have that discussion before walking down the aisle. Things don’t magically change after you have rings on your fingers. Have the tough conversations before pledging forever.
  3. POTATO CHIPS-Watch your partner each potato chips before getting married. I said before it’s too late for those of us already hitched. I tell My Forever all the time that if I would have seen him eat chips before we got married, we wouldn’t be married. I CANNOT stand it. He turns in to a cave man when he eats chips. Like shoving handfuls in his mouth and 3/4 of them fall out all over the floor or wherever he’s eating. It drives me batty. It’s a joke between the two of us at this point. No getting out now, might as well laugh. But in all seriousness, the little things that we think are adorable while dating often turn in to the things that we can’t stand as a married couple.

I hope you work to improve yourselves as individuals and a couple, but DO NOT expect change to happen in your partner. If you’re pledging the rest of your life to somebody in the hopes they will just do this different, don’t do it. I want to say people don’t change, but that’s not true, we do. But you can’t force change on another person.

All of these were meant in a truly light-hearted manner. I’m all for people being happy. I believe we all deserve this, but I think so many of us give up too early on our marriages because we think life is supposed to be perfect and when it’s not, we run. Nothing about my life is perfect. Nothing. But I love the man I’m married to with all my heart, even when he’s eating chips. Embrace the other’s “flaws” and roll with them. If something bothers you, you’d better be willing to discuss it with your partner in a kind and respectful way.

5 MINUTE OR LESS FOOLPROOF WAYS TO SHOW YOUR PARTNER LOVE INSTANTLY

7 WAYS TO MAKE SURE YOUR PARTNER IS NOT NEGLECTED

Something special. Something meaningful. Something extraordinary.

When was the last time you did those things in your marriage?

The last thing many of us are thinking about is our marriage and doing something special.

But, it’s just what many of our marriages need.

Don’t go crazy and break your budget. Don’t make it so extravagant that it’s a stresser. Simply do something that is directly intended for your spouse.

Need some examples?

  • A good morning kiss with a wish for a great day. (Or a kiss in general. Like a real one, not a quick peck).
  • Delivering coffee in bed, if you’re coffee drinkers. (If Matt did this, I would think it was a direct fight attempt because we don’t like coffee).
  • Put a love note in their lunch box.
  • Text them your favorite body part of theirs and why.
  • Go for a walk together.
  • Have dessert after the kids go to bed.
  • Wear the lingerie.

Really, anything. Just do something simple that shows your spouse that you haven’t forgotten them, you love them with all your heart, they are super important to you and life is great with them by your side.

ADVICE NEEDED! TELL US HOW IT WORKS IN YOUR LIVES.

HOW DO YOU HANDLE HOUSEHOLD CHORES?

Curious, when you have a day off work together with your spouse, do you fight because neither of you are doing what you wanted/expected to be doing? Or have you talked through the plan. Matt and I rarely have days off, but the unexpected ones are the ones we sometimes struggle through.

Matt’s idea of a day of is sitting in a recliner and watching TV. The end, nothing else needed. My idea of a day off is doing all the things that doesn’t get done on a regular basis. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m all about a good movie or show, but not all day.

So we compromise, Matt sits in the chair and I do all the things. Joking, kind of, sometimes. I tell him all the time that we aren’t in the 14th century, there are two of us that live in our house and that means there are two of us that can run the laundry, dishes, sweeper, etc.

Maybe in your household, you have the chores divided and that is just your chore that you do. Maybe one of you do all of the household things. I’m curious how you do it. How do you divide the chores? Does it work for you? What are the things that make it work?

We have been married since October of 2013, but are still working through things. Give us all the ideas on how your household functions in relation to who does all the things! Genually curious how the rest of the world handles these things! Let us know!

7 Secrets to Fix Marriage Burnout

You’re married. You’re thrilled. You’re so happy! Then life happens and the dishes start piling up, the laundry doesn’t get put away, your schedules rarely line up for date nights, the kids demand your energy. And your spouse gets pushed to the back burner, not because you don’t love them, but because you’re so used to them being there, you don’t need to worry about them. Then it becomes your new normal to go through life prioritizing other things and you wake up one day and don’t really know the person you’re married to.

Y’all I get it! I understand the burnout. It seems like something else is always more important. We are married to human beings. Those humans have their own emotions, their own stressers, their own “lists”. And sometimes our “lists” don’t match up. If you want your marriage to last the test of time AND be happy with the person you are married to, it’s going to take time and effort. Here are a few tips on how to keep your marriage healthy!

  • Prioritize time with your spouse: For us, this might mean a quick parts run to town, checking a group of cows together or prepping lunch for the next day. We’re lucky, most of the time, that we get to work together on the farm, but that doesn’t mean the priority during the day is quality time together. You have to schedule it or there will always be something more important.
  • Do the little things: Life is crazy, but we have to remember the things that our spouse likes and do those things, even when they aren’t doing it for you.
  • Laugh with your spouse: Don’t laugh AT them, laugh with them. I’ve started doing a joke of the day with my sisters, mom and My Forever. Normally, I can get a smile, if not a laugh out of Matt when he reads them! Laughter is so good for our souls. Find more reasons to laugh together.
  • Make a list of the things that stress you out: My Forever and I have a list for each other of the things we need from each other daily, weekly and monthly in order to be the most fulfilled. When My Forever gets really stressed, we also sit down and make a list for the farm – jobs that are in his head that I don’t know about, but once they are on paper, I can accomplish them for him.
  • Look for the good in the other person: This is so hard when you’re mad! I get it! But you have to believe that you are married to a good-willed person and they aren’t trying to intentionally hurt you. They may not even know what you need or want. Men think so much different than women. Be honest with your spouse when they hurt you. Tell them why. (Disclaimer-this is NOT for those abusive relationships. This is for the relationships that can be healthy. If you are getting abused, get out and get help!).
  • Don’t be afraid of therapy: Even if your spouse won’t go, you go! When I was having anxiety, I chose a therapist that specialized in anxiety, but was also a marriage therapist. Matt never went with me. We focused on my anxiety most of the time and the reasons for it, but she also gave me some great marriage tips along the way. It’s important to choose a therapist you’re comfortable with. It will completely shape the way you think of therapy! Don’t think of therapy as weakness. It’s just like all the other things we get professional help for: taxes, physical fitness, investments, dentists, business coaches, etc. If you can’t afford therapy, try a church. Most pastors are trained in counseling or may even have a therapist on staff.
  • Remember why you married your spouse: You loved them with all your heart at one point. Remember those times, remember the actions you did for them and do them again. Remember how long it took to get ready for dates. Remember what made you say yes.

Moral of the story: it’s easier to catch flies with honey rather than vinegar. It’s so hard, but do the things and see if your spouse doesn’t start reciprocating. It’s going to take time. You’re going to get frustrated at the lack of measurable results, but do it!

When you need somebody to vent to, make sure that person is pro-marriage. Friends don’t have to be the same age or in the same life stage as you. The woman I call when I need a marriage vent session is older than me with three kids, but she loves me and I love her, she is pro-marriage (she will never tell me to leave Matt), she listens to me complains and sometimes gives me stuff I can do, but sometimes just listens to me then tells me it’s going to be okay. She encourages me as an individual, but also loves on us as a couple. Everybody needs a Jamie in their life! If you don’t have one, send me a message!

How Do You Know Your Love Language

Knowing how to express love to your partner considerably increases the chances of your spouse feeling your love.

Knowing how to express love to your partner considerably increases the chances of your spouse feeling your love. In a world of personality tests and enneagrams, you need to understand why the 5 Love Languages are still so important. 

Gary Chapman wrote, “The 5 love Languages” book and has revolutionized how to communicate with our spouses. This is an older book and at this point there are a ton of newer material and resources out there besides this. 

I get easily overwhelmed with things I don’t know about. I’ve heard talk about enneagrams for a long time, but have never dipped my toe into that world. Why? Because, I need simple and concise and 9 numbers to remember and learn is too complicated for me right now. The five love languages make sense to me and I can remember and use them in my daily life. 

What is my partners love language?

Matt and I both took the free 5 Love Languages quiz online (https://www.5lovelanguages.com). I wasn’t surprised with my results, but was with his. I highly encourage you to take the super quick and easy quiz. While verifying the website, I saw they now have an apology language quiz that looked interesting. 

The 5 love languages:

  1. Words of Affirmation: Just what it sounds like. People that have this as one of their primary love languages feel most loved and appreciated when you are using words to tell them. We like hearing how much you love us, what we’re doing right and how much you appreciate us. This one is huge for me. I attribute it to my mom. Growing up she was the best at telling us how valued we were, how accomplished we were and how we did good. She never hung up the telephone without saying I love you. It’s important to me. 
  2. Physical Touch: Do not think sex. Physical touch is the hand holding, arm around shoulders, pat on the back, hand resting on leg, etc. Whenever Matt puts his arm around me or holds my hand, I feel love. Most nights I fall asleep touching his arm or back. 
  3. Quality Time: People that feel love this way want time with their partners. They feel loved and connected when they are together. 
  4. Acts of Service: Doing all the things for your partner is how they feel love. Putting away the dishes, folding laundry, getting up in the middle of the night with the baby, getting groceries, etc. 
  5. Gifts: People feel most loved when they are getting gifts randomly, not just for the holidays. They love opening and being presented with items and tokens of your love. 

Marriage is hard work.

Remember, we are all complex individuals. You probably feel love at some point or another when your partner expresses all these things, but most of us have a dominate language or two. Often we express our love in the way that we want to receive love. The fun part of this quiz is that you will have black and white what makes your spouse feel your love. Just because my second top love language is physical touch and I hold Matt’s hand and have an arm around him in public doesn’t mean he’s going to feel more love for me. I’m projecting my love language on him. 

Try to love in the way they want to receive love. For example, acts of service isn’t a huge thing for me. When Matt fixes the ice maker and puts the dishes away, I don’t feel a huge surge of love for him. To me, he’s simply doing his part as a cohabiter (is that even a word?) in this house. If he’s trying to express and show me how much he loves me, he’s going to get a lot farther by telling me what he admires about me. 

As I say almost daily, marriage is hard freaking work. You have to put time and effort into it or you wind up roommates and nobody wants that in a marriage.

When Love is an Action

The romcoms all end with the happily ever after that occurs immediately after the hero and heroine get back together after one huge misunderstanding or miscommunication. Roll the closing credits.

If only, right? Marriage is all about the fights and subsequent making up. I’m really good at the fights and I’m really good at the make up sex, the step in between is the one that gets me.

Aren’t we all little girls inside that want our Prince Charming to sweep us off our feet every time and apologize and buy us flowers if not preventing the whole fight to begin with? In my world, this doesn’t happen.

If it’s not important in 5 days or 5 months or 5 years, then forget about it and move on. While I do pride myself that I’ve learned to let things go better than I used to or better yet, figure out a more creative way to accomplish my goals, I’m terrible at not fighting.

I want the fight. I want to know what he’s thinking. I want to know why he did what he did. I want the reasoning. I want to know! As anybody that knows Matt may guess, he doesn’t. He shuts down. He walks away. He refuses to engage with me and it pisses me off more.

To him, I think, walking away, refusing to engage is his way of avoiding saying things that are hurtful. It’s a way for him to get away from conflict, think about what just happened and figure out a way to solve the problem without ever having to talk about it again.

Him walking away to me is the biggest rejection in the world. It means to me that he doesn’t care enough to talk to me and explain. It signals to me that he has more important things to do. It means to me that I’m not important. It means to me that I’m not enough for him.

On October 12, 2013, I vowed in my Grandma’s hayfield in the middle of nowhere in front of our family and friends that I would love My Forever even when I didn’t like him. What I didn’t realize in my fairy tale wedding mind is how often I wouldn’t like him. How much he would unintentionally hurt me. How often we would disagree. How hard working together. How hard working with his family is. How hard setting aside boss and laborer day time titles to life partners at night is.

Nothing about our life and lifestyle is easy. I envy people, yes I know you shouldn’t be jealous of others, that have set work schedules. I envy people that spend the weekends with their spouses without having to check cows, mow hay and harvest crops. I envy people that don’t work as hard as Matt. I envy people that go on weekly date nights. I envy people that take all the holidays off.

I made my bed and now I will sleep in it. I’m not saying I don’t love Matt. Y’all I do. I absolutely love him with my entire being. I love him so much which is the reason I am left standing fighting with myself alone bawling because he walked away. My love is the reason I get up everyday and go to work for him. My love is the reason I try so hard to get his approval. My love is the reason I work 14 hour days on a regular basis. My love is the reason I pick up every sock that he leaves all over the house. My love is the reason I find creative outlets so I don’t explode from the stressful lifestyle we live. My love is the reason that I try, try and try again.

Love is an action, not a feeling. If I did what I felt like, Matt’s face would be a continuous black and blue blob from me punching him in the face 24/7. If love was a feeling, I would never haul another load of hay or pick up another square bale in my life. If love was a feeling, I would never work cows with them again. If love was a feeling, I wouldn’t work hours everyday to try and save the baby calf and have the cows be in the right pasture and have all the weeds/trees sprayed.

Love is doing all of those things, and more, because love is an action. Fake it until you make it. Summer is always hard for me because the amount of time spent on Kelsey’s list is about zero. The time spent investing in our marriage is slim. Long daylight hours mean long hours working outside and no time to do other things.

This is what I take through all seasons of life: this too shall pass. Whatever it is that you’re struggling with, it will pass. It is not the end all be all. Friend, I feel you. I understand that it absolutely feels like it is, but it’s not. It will pass.

I didn’t wear the white dress and have the wedding of my dreams to quit after a few years. I meant it when I said divorce isn’t an option. With so many of life’s important tasks, it’s not about what we’re feeling we should do, but rather the action we need to take to make it happen. It’s not fair and it’s not fun, but it’s what I will keep doing.

I’ll keep picking up the socks, working the hours and hauling hay because love is an action. I will like him a lot and I will dislike him a lot, but I will always and I mean always love him with every fiber of my being.

Life Lessons Learned from My Forever

My Forever’s birthday is the second. As I was thinking about how I wanted to publicly tell him happy birthday, I thought I would share the life lessons I’ve learned from him in our time together.

  • Everything can be fixed. Everything. Sometimes it takes creative thinking, but it can be fixed.
  • There is always something to do. Always. Never will we ever be caught up. Therefore, when it’s go time, it’s go time.
  • Homemade french fries or Taco Bell will fix my bad mood almost instantly.
  • There is a solution to every problem. Think about it and figure it out. If you are having difficulty, ask someone that can.
  • Can’t isn’t a word and shouldn’t be in your vocabulary.
  • You are capable of so much more than you give yourself credit for.
  • Mountain Dew and sugar in the form of ice cream, brownies, really anything, is a meal. Nothing else is required. (If you would like to know how much we spend on Mountain Dew a year, I’ll give you a hint: It’s about five times as much as you’re thinking and twice as much as I think.)
  • Words solve almost nothing and are rarely needed.
  • Listen more than you talk.
  • Find boots that you like and buy about 12 of the same pair so you never have to go shopping again.
  • There are certain items that need to be name brand (pickles and Milwaukee tools), but Harbor Freight is also appropriate for a lot of things.
  • Always be prepared for anything and everything.
  • Always carry a jack, an impact wrench and a socket set.

Featured Couple: Gary & Annette Schreiber

Our featured couple segment is a monthly thing! If you have a couple that you’d like to nominate, send us a message! It will be published the last Monday of every month.

Marriage is hard. Do I say that in every #MarriageMonday post? I think so because it’s so true! In a society that doesn’t value the sanctity of marriage, it can be difficult to find role models for our marriages. The featured couple segment is meant to give you a couple that you can follow if you don’t have any in your life.

Who Is the Featured Couple?

Gary and Annette Schreiber are my middle sister’s in laws. However, we have known them almost all our lives. They were our 4-H leaders when we joined.

What Do I Admire?

So they have been married for forever, like 41 years. They have three grown boys with wives and families of their own. They raised three amazing men. Gary and Annette are always giving and doing. Always. Never complaining.

The thing that makes me most happy about them is how they are always smiling, joking and laughing with each other. Kayla tells us stories of how funny they are together. They are willing to go and do anything for anybody.

You can often find them holding hands or have their arms around the other when out and about.

Marriage is hard work, but they make it look effortless. They facilitate pre-marriage classes. (If only they accepted non-Catholic couples!)

I’m sure life isn’t all sunshine and roses for them, but you could never tell. They choose joy over and over again. They choose to let God shine through them. They choose to spread all the love and compassion through the world.

If you have been touched by Gary and Annette, let them know! What’s your favorite memory of them? What do you love most about their marriage?

2 Halves Don’t Make a Whole

You know how you always hear, especially when couples are just getting started, about how their partner makes them whole. We say things like, “where is your other half”, “he/she makes me whole” and “I’m incomplete without her/him”.

I’ve said all these things multiple times. Not sure where I heard it, but once I heard the following quote, I can’t stop thinking about it anytime a previously mentioned line is uttered.

You are a whole person! Nobody completes you or make you whole! You are a whole individual by yourself. Two people do not make one. Two whole individuals working together create one amazing marriage.

Unknown

Quit trying to have somebody else complete you. Friend you are strong, you are capable and you are a whole person without anybody else. Quit expecting him to tell you your hair cut is amazing when he doesn’t even notice you got your hair cut. Quit trying to get her to take an interest in your latest shop project when she has her own projects you don’t want to be involved in. Quit trying to have your spouse be the positive inner voice that is missing in your head.

So many of us are inundated with negativity both in the world and in our head. We try to get our spouse to be the positive voice we need and when they don’t come through, we feel horrible. In order to make a marriage work, you have to bring your best. You have to spend time with yourself to provide the best to your spouse.

Now with all that said, I want to backtrack a little. We cannot physically be strong 100% of the time. Marriage is all about being able to rely on another human being to always be there for you. You get the opportunity to lean on someone else when you aren’t able to stand up yourself.

What I’m trying to say, you are not a half of a whole. You are a whole. You are a whole being that is strong, confident, loved and able. You are a whole that is involved in a partnership with two whole complete beings. Sometimes we are the strong one, sometime we lean on the other, but none of that takes away from you being enough. You are so much more than a half!
