Learning from Andy

It has been 5 years yet I feel like I have been with Andy for my entire life. I think this is because I have been with him my whole adult life. I have grown so much as a person with him. I get so frustrated when people say they got a divorce because they were too young and they both changed too much. This is an excuse if you ask me. I had so many people think I was too young to get married. Really? When does God intend for us to get married? Why have so many relationships worked when the man and wife get married so young. They grow together, not apart. They allow God to help them learn from each other. Yes I have grown up so much over the past 5 years, but this has only made me closer to Andy. God has always said 2 is better then 1. I learn from Andy each and every day. I used to want Andy to be just like me, oh boy is that scary to think about. Why doesn't he get so excited when I tell him a story? Or why does he not want to do this or that? God created men and women different for a reason. Together they are supposed to fit perfectly. Instead of wanting him or us to be different I have started to love the differences. It makes our marriage so much more thrilling. Each week I try and find out something I didn't used to know about him. It can be a struggle sometimes but I try to watch him and see the different things he does all the time. Just found out that Andy has no routine whatsoever. He sometimes gets breakfast at the train station, sometimes doesn't. Rarely goes to the same place. Sometimes has 3 coffees a day other times none. I mean I could predict he was like this because he is not an organized person but to hear it is hilarious! I am such a routine girl. I want my same Starbucks everyday. I like to workout at the same time everyday. I like to read and watch T.V. at certain times in the day. Ahh how different we are :) I learned how inpatient Andy is. I mean yes sometimes I get angry because he will stop me from doing something so he can do it. I hate that. But I had no idea just how inpatient he was until we started putting together the IKEA stuff. Andy is used to being good at all of his jobs. So when something doesn't fit within 10 seconds of putting together the furniture then he is upset. I am a teacher so of course you can fill in the blank. I am very patient. Everything I learn about Andy allows for me to understand him more and be more compassionate for certain things.
