Five Minute Friday -- Real

real love is changing all your plans at the drop of a hat or the ring of the phone to take your husband on a business trip. real love is having your husband want you to drive him, because he enjoys the time alone together.


real love is talking about and through the hard, nitty, gritty stuff rather than just pretending life isn't messy. real love is choosing to stay together even though sometimes you don't like the way he does things. real love is realizing it's never going to be perfect.


real love is sharing a plate of pasta at a restaurant and stopping before you finish it to discuss which dessert is the best. real love is sharing a piece of chocolate mousse pie with Oreo crust and Heath bar crumbles on top.


real love is falling into a bed in a hotel and being glad it's comfortable. real love is having your husband snuggle up to spoon you and saying he likes your nightgown because it's soft. real love is having him put up with your reading in bed even when you're both so tired you can't see straight.


real love is driving home the next morning after breakfast at McDonald's and talking about what to do for date night tonight.
