when you hear something more than twice
Do you consider it a sign of some sort? Is it a message from some greater force that you need to consider a little further or perhaps delve into if you haven’t already?
I have instances where I hear sayings that at the time sound cute. But I disregard it. Then something interesting happens, it comes back in a different voice. Then I get curious about it. The third time it happens close after, I start to wonder if the “stars” are aligning someway trying to push me in a particular direction.
I’m by no means a religion pusher, nor am I on a quest for intense depth in life either. But what I do try to find is the valuable lessons life seems to want me to learn.
The lesson of the week is “Happy wife means a happy life”. I heard that from my CPA review class instructor. He and his wife seem like two very nice and real people. They have genuine issues in their lives, children included but overall they seem happy with each other. So does this lead to the timeless and classic discussion of “Who wears the pants in this house?”. After that quote, I’m going to say that the wife has a lot more say than many like to give credit for.
I’m of the opinion that i takes two to tango. In a family there are two parents *if you’re fortunate to have a household with a couple*. In a traditional family where there are two parents (traditional meaning a couple, this couple doesn’t need to be straight), that’s a team effort. It involves two individuals who made a conscious decision to compromise. Does it mean that it’s seamless and perfect? Can I get a HELL NO? sure you know that you may have differing opinions, but you made a promise to compromise. So perhaps in essence agreeing to things and learning to pick your battles does develop the opportunity to live a more thoughtful life. I’m not sure, but these are just some of my musings.
When I get married, I’ll gladly prove or disprove some of these hypotheses. =) Good night friends, hope you have a beautiful Friday leading to a fantastic weekend.
