10 Years…

This weekend, Lisa and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary! 10 years of marital bliss. Well, not quite.

What I’ve learned is that marriage is hard work. The way I see it, marriage is set, by default, to fail. If you want to make it work, you have to develop a strategy that will counteract the natural course of things (date night, family time, counseling, etc.).

I always laugh when I meet married couples that say they don’t ever fight. I think it’s a load–either they’re lying or they don’t really spend any time together. When two imperfect people spend time together sparks are going to fly. And I view that as good thing. It’s how the relationship gets stronger.

Being married to Lisa has made me a better person (I still have a long way to go). I am so lucky to have met her and tricked her into marrying me. As I like to say, it is the second best decision I have ever made. What’s the first? Read my book to find out (you can win a FREE copy here)…

I love you, Lisa! Thanks for marrying me….
