Not Your Average Reaction to Criticism


My now husband and I had been dating for about 18 months.  For some reason, I was irritated with him - years have blurred the reason, it was probably PMS - and I unloaded on him about a couple of things that bothered me about him and our relationship. Instead of taking it personally, he nodded, and said something like, "So what do you want to do? I see several ways we can work on this."  He then proceeded to come up with a plan. Wow! Not your average reaction to criticism. I knew right then that he was the one for me. 

We've been married for 31 years, and I never have regretted the decision I made that day.  His approach to life and problems has made him a great husband, father to our girls and a valuable leader in his field of work. 

Recently we were sitting outside holding hands on a lovely evening and I said, "You know where I would like to be right this minute?"  "Where?," he asked. My answer: "Nowhere else in the world, but right here with you." 

I am blessed.
