All About My Imperfect Husband

And why I absolutely adore him anyways.

All About My Imperfect Husband
Korin Banks

Truth be told, life is hard. It is never ending with trials, tribulations, and insanity left and right. Some days you can get through without blinking, other days you can't blink hard enough to make it go by quicker. Most of my life I spent just trying to get through it, instead of cherishing it, with good reason.

Now I have this beautiful family and marriage that I love more then anything. I have had what one would consider a bad week, I've got more then half of my immediate family with health problems. Including myself. So It is nine o'clock on a Friday night and I realize I haven't even thought about an article. Not a word of anything. Writing is really important to me but life is overloading so I text my husband. I say "Im screwed. What do I do?" He, only half joking, says "Write about my awesomeness." So I am going to.

My husband isn't like some men, who are super romantic and says all the right things at the right times. Truth be told he isn't like the men who even try to think about it, and say the wrong thing. He is Robert. He does everything he can in his own way. You tell him to go left then right, he will go straight, then take a hard right just to get you to see it can be done a different way.

He is sarcastic, and has a twisted sense of humor. He sees things so differently then the rest of the world. Of course after almost a decade together, I've picked up on some of these things, just like I know I have rubbed off on him, which he will never admit. He has helped me learn how to better balance my life and myself. That's what a husband should do.

Pinky promises are our most sacred thing. He won't leave me to use the bathroom alone during a scary movie. He helped take care of my terminally I'll mother, and even gave a beautiful speech at her funeral. He loves to do the most in appropriate things anywhere and everywhere. He will say he doesn't care all the while figuring out a way to help you anyways. He will mind his business better then anyone I've ever met, but he will tell you the absolute truth about everything without thinking twice, even when you don't want to hear it. To call him my best friend would be an insult. He is so much more then that. He makes everyone a better person for knowing him. I promise you that. If you ever get the chance to know him, don't because I am a crazy over protective wife. But know that is just as awesome as he says he is. I hope everyone on earth finds someone to be for them, what he has been for our family.

Happy six year anniversary, I'm late but you know, lateness is my thing. You are a better husband and father then anyone I know. I appreciate you, I love you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
