  14. There’s an episode of How I Met Your Mother where Ted is attempting to find something without baggage, only to realize he’s got his own. We all come with experiences, both happy and sad. It’s important to remember those are what got you to this point, to each other.

  15. Realism does have a definite place in long-term relationships, that’s for sure. Takes awhile to realize that though, usually. 😉

  16. Yes, actions do speak louder than words most times. I love helping my husband out whenever I can.
