They say opposites attract and looking back I think that was certainly our case. My husband was and is intense and more on the serious side. I was definitely more light-hearted and playful. I planned fun events for us, coordinated our social life and made him laugh. Five kids later and I have become a different woman. Sadly, I am now a lot more like my husband – intense and on the serious side.
So I am on a quest to find my husband’s girlfriend. She is in here somewhere and I really miss her more than my husband does. Here is how I have recently encouraged her to come out more. She added emoji to her phone and is now texting cute code pictures to her husband and kids. She is taking pictures of anything humorous and texting that to her husband and kids. I discovered that if she sleeps and exercises a little more, she really is in a better mood (endorphins = inlovephins). She is playing more by saying yes instead of no and trusting that whatever she is in the midst of will get done – later (God can do that you know – expand your time).
That’s it for now. I will keep working on it. Remind me if I don’t. Hate to slip back into just the wife again ‘cause the girlfriend is so much more fun.
