For all you 20-somethings; here’s a (scary?) look into the lives of married people
Dear Theresa,
You are the ideal superwife that I have been dreaming of for a long time.
Love,
your husband

Re: Christmas
Erik and I picked out the Christmas card photo last night. I edited it this morning, emailed it to ProEx and just got an email that it is ready to pick up. I will pick it up at noon and have the kids put the photo in the card. I will run the address labels, write and print the newsletter this afternoon and we can send them off tonight or tomorrow morning.
I picked up Mike and Mark’s gift cards this morning.
I washed three loads this morning and Kris is folding/putting away.
I will pick up dishwasher soap and have Erik do dishes.
Love,
Theresa

Terr,
Lots to do today and tomorrow.
Well, with time so short and Christmas cheer in the air, I might as well begin to spend some money. Yes, tonight I must begin the shopping spree. Lots of gifts to buy!

That’s very romantic. I’m envious. — Bunnie
Tomorrow I celebrate 15 wonderful years of being married to the woman who is the God-given love of my life…
…and I’m jealous of the affection that is clearly shown by you & your husband, Theresa!
I can think of few other blessings as great as the one God gives in a true life-mate & helpmeet.

I should probably clarify something…
1. I did not become (and probably am still not) a superwife (ha!) until I did one simple thing: I gave up my oneness completely for the sake of our twoness (or threeness, if you want to be spiritual about it). I was (and still can be) stubborn and selfish. It took me until about 10 years ago to realize that if our marriage had any hope, I had to give up. Two ships cannot keep sailing forward together with a rope tied between them. We both had to give up our ships and build a new ship together and get on that one. Once we did, we realized more happiness, love and freedom than we ever had before. We celebrated 20 years last summer and I know that we will celebrate another 20 one day (God willing). Marriage is so wonderful, yet it is so very difficult! I don’t know how I could be so happy if we had not had such difficult times.
2. He only calls me superwife when I get, like, a million things accomplished in one morning! That isn’t too often!
