So that you can understand what the hang I am talking about, I have provided links to several music videos for your listening pleasure. First of all:
Gloria Estefan - "It's Too Late"
Sugarland - "Stuck Like Glue"
I hope you enjoyed these songs and that they are now fresh in your mind (and stuck in your head for the rest of the day!) because I think that these songs are representative of the extremes of married life: On any given day, you're somewhere between "It's Too Late" and "Stuck Like Glue." And that is okay.
You shouldn't expect to feel all Train - "Marry Me Today and Everyday" every day. It's just. Not. Realistic.
Basically, as long as it's not, like, Joan Jett - "I Hate Myself for Loving You", Cee-Lo Green - "Forget You," or worst Ashton Shepherd - "Look it Up," you are doing just fine. Don't call the clergy person, counselor, attorney, police. Put the phone (and/or the weapon) down.
After all, "No One Said it Would be Easy" (Sheryl Crow).
*I dedicate this post to my bestie, Nikki, who uses songs in conversation like this all of the time! If no one else does, she will truly appreciate this :-)
I think you are becoming my favorite blog!

I find that sometimes, the only way to express something correctly is through song lyrics and/or music in general.
