This one is a no-brainer really. I do have 2 children who I really love, but my most important relationship is the one I have with my husband. He's my lover, my friend and my rock, without him I'd be lost. I'm pretty sure that when the kids leave home and become independent he'll still be here with me (barring accidents).
He still makes me laugh, we enjoy X-box time together (Borderlands is probably our main game) and it feels great when we do stuff around the house together. Today I got home from my guild to find he's been tidying the house, it looks so much better even though I'd made a start earlier in the week. It'll make my mission easier later too. The plan is to finish the quilt and then get onto the true spring clean involving cleaning the blinds in the kitchen and blerk, the oven. Then I might get some more wallpaper down in the dining room.
Back to Thomas though, he loves me just as much as I love him, it doesn't get much better than that.
Thanks for this post! It's easy to forget the perspective on relationships (I know I do), and good to stop and remind oneself of which relationship *is* the most important, especially with needy children!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. It is easy to become overwhelmed by the child/parent relationship, especially when they're on the autistic spectrum. Neither of us would cope without the other though and we've not let go of what brought us together in the first place. By the way, love your blog!
