Favorite Things FRIDAY!

Okay, first off, 

how PROUD of me are you 

that I actually got my act together 

this week and posted on FRIDAY, rather than Saturday or Sunday?

We're making progress! 

So, this favorite thing

should be required reading for all 

couples before they get married! 

Chris and I will be celebrating our 

12th anniversary 

in a few months!

(yes. I'm old...but I was 21 when we got married)

and I wish we had read this book 

before we got married. 

Heck...I wish we'd read this book after

five or TEN years
 of being married! 

 It's funny, practical and 

oh so helpful

when trying to figure out your spouse!

 Side note: do you ever think that God designed

men and women so completely different

as a form of entertainment for him? 

Seriously.

How can men and women be so 

similar anatomically

(well...except for the obvious differences)

but be so thoroughly 

different 

in virtually every other way! 

There is a funny part in the book when 

describing men.

It talks about how men compartmentalize

every area of their lives into little boxes

(like a waffle).

So, there's work box, a home box,

a money box, etc. And then they have

some boxes that are just

empty!

 Excuse me????

How exactly can you have an 

empty box?!

 Then there's the woman, who is made so

completely opposite.

Every area of her life is connected to one another

(like spaghetti).

So, if you start talking to her about cereal, 

it could invariably result in talking about a play that she 

saw when she was 11! 

Everything is connected!

Chris and I are having a good time reading it together 

and laughing about our differences.
It certainly helps in the

communication department!

So, there you have it. 

My favorite thing.

You should totally 

buy it!

You won't regret it!

 Have a fabulous weekend! =)
