There is no doubt in my mind that some people who post sappy things on Facebook are desperately trying to convince people that everything is just peachy in their relationship. If you know the couple, you know they aren't fooling anyone. HOWEVER, I 100%, absolutely, whole heartedly believe that bragging about your significant other and your relationship is a must do!
I love to share every single sappy, mushy, lovey dovey, make people sick from all the sweetness thing I can about my wonderful husband! Let me tell you why...
One reason is because I think it is so important to acknowledge the little things, the things that make your heart swell. So many people only want to complain about their other halves. People are quick to point out all of the negative things going on. Why not focus on the good things?
The other reason is because I think it's good for other people to see that there are wonderful, healthy relationships out there. I know several people who seem to be in a less than desirable relationship. People who think that what should be everyday niceties are special occasions. Wouldn't it be great to show them that they are getting ripped off in the love department? That they deserve so much more? That it's out there and they need only keep looking?
The relationship Jesse and I have is certainly not perfect. We have our moments, who doesn't? But for the most part what we have is such a great, equal, loving, fun partnership. I am so incredibly blessed to have found someone who genuinely makes my life better just by being in it. I want everyone to experience a love like ours. Because even though it has its flaws, at the end of the day, we are so in love that nothing else matters.
So I post to facebook. I blog. I brag about my husband to anyone and everyone who will listen. (Just last night he had me laughing so much I could hardly stand it) And despite what this silly e-card says, we are perfectly, truly happy :) I think the world could stand to hear more about happy relationships and less about unhealthy ones. Enough with the cheating scandals, the abuse, the loveless couples and lonely nights. Let's share more about perfect nights in, date nights, little things that brighten our days. Good relationships are out there, you've just gotta find the right person!!
