"children do not cause problems, they reveal them."

Although my husband and I were best friends for 8 and some years prior to saying "I do" things have changed - not in a negative way, but dealing with change doesn’t come easy to me. My husband however had slipped into his role of husband rather quick and well, lol. I've always known Santino has high standards and doesn’t expect anything from anyone he cant equally offer, but dang being his wife sure is like nothing I've ever expected.  It's a great honor to be the wife of a God fearing and loving man. There are many great qualities about him which are taken really far.... for an example, he doesn’t believe married men should look at swim suite mags or anything which would lead the eye, mind and heart to lust... so he stays far away from that stuff, but now he's cutting so called friends off because they call themselves Christians yet want to look at sexual photos of other women. Another example is, I am not allowed to be friends with males or females who are not obedient to scripture.... don’t get me wrong, i can have many acquaintances, but acquaintances do not fulfill the role of a friendship nor do I invite acquaintances to my home...as a matter of fact there are only a very few people who have ever been welcomed into my home so I totally agree with my husband, I'm just pointing out the extreme of how my husband is, he's literal and not many people can deal with being literal... personally, I LOVE IT... we've just been having a rough time adjusting to one another. It's all together fun, emotional, tiring, romantic, exciting, stressful and hilarious....  Last night my daughter tells him the great news about her report card... 4 A's and 2 B's yet she pulled some manipulative thing at school a few weeks ago and my husband expressed he was still pretty bothered by it so that hurt her a bit... I got a bit defensive so we went round and round on how we should reward and discipline, etc, etc.... finally we both came to an agreement in what we were telling one another and again he spoke to our daughter about how proud he was of her and how he doesn’t only expect her to constantly reach for better, but he expects it of mom and himself.... I don’t know what esle he told her (i know it was about being manipulative), but she was very pleased and looked at me like she had him wrapped around her figure, lol.  A few weeks ago I felt weighed down by everything so I had a meltdown, lol... for the first time in my life I felt depressed and angry... my husband's constant encouragement about being in the word and trusting in the Lord, etc, etc... somehow upset me even more, but I'm alright now, I'm picking up the last few pieces of myself and I'm feeling great... I hate feeling depressed, God is too good to me to feel that way, I just allow my flesh to get the best of me at times.  I'm very thankful to God for my husband, daughter and all my supporter's love Thank You!
