Today, our fourth anniversary is just like most days: me home with the kids while Mike’s working. Nothing different, just another day.
But it’s not like any other day really, because it’s today – four years ago that I was a blubbering idiot as I said my vows to love, honour and obey stand by him through think and thin.
We’ve had a lot of thin over the past year.
We’ve also had a lot of thick.
But no matter, we can always find out way back to each other.
Two years ago I wrote this:
Today while washing dishes together, Mike had a rather large knife in his hand and requested the dry towel I had hanging haphazardly over my shoulder; I leaned in for him to take it, but instead he just wiped the knife blade as the towel remained on my shoulder. I moved to avoid the shiny sharp edge that we strategically aimed towards my jugular.
He says: “Don’t worry, I wasn’t going to hurt you!â€
To which I reply, “I know hon; just not keen to have a knife blade aimed at my throat.â€
Mike then retorts: “I’d strangle you before I’d stab you. That way I can watch your life be slowly drained away- kinda like you do to me every. damn. day.â€
Ah, the love.
To some it may seems shocking and hurtful that he’d say something like that to me, but that’s the way we’ve been since day one.
I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Amen to this post! And congrats on 4 years of marriage!
Chris and I are the exact same way and some of the things he says to me most people would think, “YOU PUT UP WITH THAT?”
But I just fire right back at him, and then we laugh…
It’s an inside thing – and I’d much rather have a relationship like what we (and you) have than one where we’re all prim and proper. That’s no fun!
