Couples bicker. I think that is just a common thing. You know eachother so well that you can pick up the littlest off details and somehow it excalates. Like today, Ryan wore jeans to go to church. In the years I have known him he has always worn a suit to church. So I looked at him and said, "You're wearing jeans to church?" Surprised, not downgrading. But it went over wrong and we started bickering, especially once I threw my skirt back in the closet and slid jeans on too. After spending a day eating together, playing SCRABBLE, we just snapped once we realized we had to go to church and were late. Bickering commences.
So in the car we start talking about it, why are we bickering so much this past week? We've never been like that. And then it clicked. For various circumstances we missed church the past few weeks, and ever since it has gotten heavier and heavier. We realized that in the car and just go quiet.
Once we made it to mass we sat there and held hands and then his arm was around me as we had this calming cloud of peace settle over us. It was great. We kept catching each others eyes and smiling and feeling just happier. We need that, it is such a huge part of our lives and it was like going home again in a way.
Just sharing our observations for today. At rehearsal now. More later faithful readers.

ReplyDeleteAlso, can't agree more on the missing church makes things tougher. You need that spiritual feast to keep you going!
