Travel and go alot of places.


One thing that Mu father does that I unfortunately so is press certain issues to much.. Regardless if I am right wrong or simply attempting to be informative I have to understand that it's aggravating to keep pushing the issue... Either I should let it go or differentiate my form if communication to get the message across


There is a bit of always filling time with something to do, that doesn't leave time for us to spend time as just us.


They still



My parents were always sweet to each other, and they went on dates (though not often enough).

They also stuck together and supported each other. When dad's job moved us, it was another adventure not a hardship.


Show lots of affection for each other in front of the kids.


Good: did everything they could to provide me with opportunities. Bad: never saw each other.


aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhh......nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!


staying together


hey Icebreak: why don't you leave our parents out of this huh?


Providing for my woman so that she never needs. And when the wants come along, she gets the big ones... I'm a provider.
You are my hero. You take care of me and I feel safe and secure with you. Thank you.

My parents are divorced. Luckily I don't have to base my relationship like theirs.


Watch TV


be honest and up front with each other


My parent's marriage was a broken, volatile mess. Some of that I brought to my marriage. But God has revealed many things to both myself and my wife recently, and generational sins are falling away all around us. But despite the bad, I can say that I observed my father consistently providing for his family and being actively involved in my life. I am grateful and hope to pass on the same to my children, but along with so much more as well.
