Spousal sighs

Darling, You can screw up. 

I think today, I have made my most important commitment in marriage - in being married to myself and to my spouse. I think Im going to allow me, and him, to fuck up occasionally.

There. I said it. I didnt think I would swear on this blog - but somewhere inside me is this rebel whose language hasn't really matured. So.

Really, why would I promise to live with someone for a lifetime if that person - namely me, my spouse and my kid is not allowed to make a big huge stinking mess? Im going to say we're allowed. And its bloody okay to do that. And Im still going to believe in me, in him and in him. Im not going to give in to disillusion. Life is hard as it is - throw in un-achieved ambition, fatigue and being overworked - which is the sort of stuff life is really made of - it'd be nothing but effing godly to not screw up occasionally.

In fact I recommend marriage vows to read - I know I will, and you will - screw up. Lose yourself. Be cruel and mad. And I will believe in me and you because we are just as normal as everyone else who will be cruel, mad and tired at some point in their lives.
