Our text messages say a lot about our marriage.

While scrolling through my phone and reading the text exchange between my husband and I, I see a love story.

No, I don’t see a bunch of X’s, O’s and lovey dovey emoticons. But I do see mistakes, arguments, parenting advice and venting sessions. I see two people navigating this life together. I see a parenting partner. I see a best friend. I see a union that thrives on a healthy dose of sarcasm.

When I read our text messages, I see a real marriage, and I laugh.


1. This may be the most truthful text message I’ve ever sent my husband, but honesty is key in a successful relationship.


2. Not only does my husband go grocery shopping, but he always takes the time to carefully and considerately explain life’s greatest mysteries to me.


3. Communication is the lifeline of any marriage I want to personally thank the inventor of text messaging for keeping ours together.


4. Communication via text is wonderful, but sometimes we still need to pick up the phone for a personal exchange or just to hear our spouse’s voice. Oh, and to make sure they know when to do what they need to do.


5. Sure, he thinks I’m a beautiful and amazing woman, but I know the difference between a sincere compliment and a “I need sex” compliment. Even through text.

True though. It's never a bed of roses. Numbers 5 and 10 got me ROFL!
