Wedding anniversary reminds me why I'm here

Despite several couples falling apart around us, we are very excited to celebrate our four year wedding anniversary. As everyone probably knows (that know me), I am very busy in day-to-day life because I am a busy-body. I work 40-48 hours a week, participate in a competitive video gaming league, tried a couple of unsuccessful businesses and I am a father of two very wonderful children. I also am trying to find a reasonable amount of time to exercise and take care of myself personally.

You may have noticed that I didn't put being a husband in that list. I did this because I wanted to really touch on that point. My goal for this year is do a better job at it. I work very hard to provide for my family, and I am definitely a little selfish in wanting my own personal time especially when it comes to competitive gaming. I need to spend more time with my wife on a daily basis. Not just at  a time level but on a more personal level that helps us continue to grow as a couple and as friends. It's very hard to do when you have two young children, and we both want to have our own personal time. This is not to say we are doing poorly. I would venture to say we are both very happily married, but I know in my heart that I can do a better job in this area of my life and want to make it a priority.

My wife is very understanding to why I want to play video games or do this or that. I need to do a better job at giving back to her in return. Being a husband is not only for providing, but it's also to be a friend and partner. My promise to my wife (who reads my blog) is that I'm going to do everything I can to be a better husband and friend. I promise to put you before myself more often, and I promise the years to come will be an adventure we both enjoy (not that we haven't enjoyed the first four).

I love you.
