to be chosen instead of being the ones to choose exactly what it was we wanted. Life has a funny way of showing you what you need. No one has to settle for what they feel their worth.

I was engaged 5 times to 5 different men. I refused to say "I do" because I knew in my heart that "he" wasn't the one. I am so glad that I followed my gutt instinct and waiting for Mr. Right. Mr. Rights name now? Mr. McCowin.

You know, marriage isn't easy- even if you know he's Mr. Right. Dealing with each others habits and ways of thinking are tough. I love my husband with all of my heart, but I have to tell you.. to be frank.. he really pisses me off sometimes. Ok, so now what? Well, the first thing I ask myself is "how important is this really?" Is it really hurting me or is it just frustrating that he's not doing something the way that I like it done? If I choose to over look it, that doesn't mean I'm settline for less. It means I'm compromising and thats what a happy marriage is all about to me.

If you feel like your settling for less.. maybe its time you seek professional help. Something told you to marry your spouse in the first place. What has changed and why has it changed? We're so quick to point the finger at the other person. Maybe its not about them at all.
