Marriage takes work.
Kids. Animals. Work. Computers. Tv. Friends. Illness. Exhaustion.
Just… *gah* …LIFE.
It gets in the way.
And sometimes you forget the need to put that extra effort into your partner….your relationship. Or worse yet, you get lax, don’t put forth enough effort. And the other person feels taken for granted….not good enough, not wanted, not needed.
Which is crushing, makes you feel incredibly saddened. Because you love this person and never meant for them to feel this way. Pains you to know your actions, or rather your lack there of…..caused them to feel this way. It causes you to feel as if you are failing. Have failed them.
See.
You have to work on the sparkle.
This weekend we went to a Christmas party and later to a bar with some of PC’s friends. I was “Sparkle Girl” for PC’s friends. But unfortunately “Pass out- Too Little Too Late Girl” for PC. I suck. (and not in the good way!) *SIGH* (I’m Sparkle Girl often…..but maybe not often enough for the person who counts the most)

It happens to the best of us… and probably the sign of a healthy marriage is the equal balance between TV & Take Out and Sparkle! Hang in there!
