We Are Gods in the Eyes of Our Children Part 1

This isn't what this is about but I found this to be both sad and funny, 

"SUCKS is actually an acronym for what the vast majority of marriage counselors have been doing to marriages over the last fifty years.

S=Suspends positive solutions from happening
U=Undermines understanding of the person you married
C=Closes off good communication between spouses
K=Knocks one spouse while defending the other
S=Scrambles issues so they appear unsolvable

Which reminds me...

You may or may not be aware of this, but marriage counseling has a high success rate......at DESTROYING marriages."

Copy and pasted from an email I got 

Quickly as to get onto more important things, my wife agreed to go to see a marriage counselor shortly after she announced her plans to divorce. It was me scrambling to open up communications with her and if that failed then maybe she would continue see this therapist as she really needs to talk to someone. For my wife, the session was for her to state in front of someone else that she was, in no uncertain terms, out of this marriage. And this was the only effort my wife decided our 9 year marriage and our children deserved. 

But I'm not bitter :P

And moving on......

Arte and Jen, yes children are totally worth it however some days are more worth it then others. You will never forget the first time you child kicks inside of yours or your spouses tummy. You will never forget their first words or first step or their unsuccessful attempts to catch a butterfly. But you will never forget the time they snuck out the back door and slashed their foot. You will never forget that ambulance ride. You will never forget their screams as they got 8 stitches.  

And just when they are about to jump up and down all over your last nerve, they'll come up to you for no reason and tell you that they love you.

Yeah, it's worth it all.
