If you knew on your wedding day what you know now about your spouse, would you have gotten married?
February 27, 2008
Sure, lots of folks will do the ‘knee-jerk’ reaction and say yes, but really answer honestly. This question examines not only on your spouse (then and now) but also you and your judgments and beliefs (then and now).
We’ve been through alot in our eight years. I’ve seen my swubby from every angle- so far- and he’s a keeper. He’s exactly what I asked the universe for. I don’t care that my sweetie is super literal. I can deal with procrastination. What I can’t live without is his good heart and kindness.
So, what I know now is: don’t sweat the small stuff. Now, if we had major fundamental differences that might change my tune…

Got something to say?
You know, I would have married her, but there’s a chance that we would have gotten married a few years later. My wife has a pretty serious heart condition and being a young, poor couple with health problems made early married life pretty difficult, much more so than it is now anyway.
On the other hand, there’s some merit to the argument that we grew through those tough early years together. We know how to communicate with each other and I don’t think anything could rock our marriage now - but I wouldn’t bet on that.
I hear you Cory. We also got to practice the ’sickness or health’ part early in our marriage. My swubby ruptured two herniated disks and it changed our lives- for different and better. And, truthfully, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I know there’s nothing that can shake us if we stick together.

I’m one of those who got divorced after a short marriage. I think I DID know all those things about my husband, but as many women do, looked to his potential, and not to who he was. If I had accepted him for who he was, I would have realized that a marriage would not have lasted. There are my two cents!
