QOTD May 27th

Good morning ladies! Are you ready for this short work week? I am. Only 3 days away from Friday! Hopefully, those three days will go fasssst!

Today's quote is:

Pearl S. Buck:
A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the individuals and in the way they express their love.

So my question to you is how have you changed and grown since you and FH started dating? How has he changed and grown?

Enjoy your Tuesday ladies!!!!!

I have definitely learned to be more patient and know that i can trust FH and not worry about things i used to worry about before. I also think more about the future and less about the past and present.

Re: QOTD May 27th

When FH and I started dating, I was 22 and very different then! I used to smoke the herb a lot, partied quite a bit, I worked in retail and went to school. I did what I had to do but I wasn't fully responsible. Since FH and I got together, I kicked all those bad habits. He told me he couldn't date a pot head. And, I am glad he told me that because since then, I have done a complete turnaround. I became much more responsible, started a career and have become a very fulfilled and happy person. So, I have grown a lot.

FH has changed quite a bit. He always was in debt and never was able to stand up for himself. Since we got together, he has paid off his bills, matured A LOT and is able to really stand up for himself now. In the past, he took a lot of crap from people. Now, he makes sure people don't walk all over him and that is DEF a good thing.

I definitely grew in my patience & learning to listen better.

FH has changed the fact that his communication skills are so much better then when we first started dating. FH is an only child & so that was hard for him. Also that he realized that its not just about him its about US! And I LOVE THAT!!! Honestly, Im the LUCKIEST girl in the world!

FH has made me a kinder, gentler, more patient person. I think FH has learned not to make a big deal out of things when it's not necessary, and he's really reined in his temper.

I became a lot calmer and more patient. I also learned that it is ok for someone to help you and not always be so independent.

I too have become very calm and more patient. I think it's great that all our FH's have helped us become great people and vice versa!

Re: QOTD May 27th

I think fh has become more patient with me. we both were not in the right state of mind when we started dating and it was pretty disatrous in the beginning. Now we really are more accepting of each other so i say thats the biggest change.

Re: QOTD May 27th

I feel as if I am a better person. My FH gave me confidence in myself. It is because of him I went back to school and accomplished things I was sure I could not do. He believed in me and gave me the strength to be a better person .I don't want to know what my life would be like without him.

Re: QOTD May 27th

I have grown by learning to be more understanding and patient. FH is also trying to teach me to be a calm person and not to sweat the small stuff. We'll see how that one goes.

FH has learned to have more faith in himself and be better organized. He's also learning not to get so down on himself when he forgets things or isn't what he considers 'perfect.'

Re: QOTD May 27th

FH has made me more responsible with my money.....he makes me think twice about buying something. I think I have made FH more responsible about things....mostly school stuff but now that we are done with school FH may go back to being irresponsible. lol

Re: QOTD May 27th

I have become much more open and honest about my feelings. I used to keep everything bottled up. Our communication has improved so much. He's helped me become more responsible, more confident, and to stand up for myself. I used to take crap from everyone, and he is the complete opposite!

He has become a lot more patient and openminded. He's said he finally has complete trust in someone.

Re: QOTD May 27th

He think about the future and saving our money more; we party much less; eat in a lot; hang out with other couples. We were not super young when we started dating so I guess we had already done a lot of our growing up when we were apart - I think we got together b/c we were both grown up and our interests in life had grown similarly.

Re: QOTD May 27th

FH has helped me to get over my fear of being sooo worried about what other people think of me. I'm still really paranoid about that but I've gotten much better.

FH has matured a lot... since I'm older than him it was a little weird at the beginning. He's also gotten wayyyyy better with saving money bc he used to be HORRIBLE at that!

Re: QOTD May 27th

I think i'm more focused towards my goals. I'm doing things for the both of us as opposed to just myself. Same thing for FH but he did a 180... he's totally sensitive and focused on things with us.
