Switzerland

I was working the other night and I was just finishing the beverage service and saw this young women crying and so what I usually do is just grab some tissues out of the bathroom and hand them to person. So I grabbed my tissues walked back up to her, handed her the tissues and asked her if everything was ok, which I don't normally do, she said no I am not ok and I really need a neutral party to talk to.......can you stay and talk to me for a minute she asked. I told her I would be right back I needed to help the other flight attendant get the cart back up to the galley.
When I got back to her, I commented I was her Switzerland and to lay it on me. She gave me a long story about her and her boyfriend, together for 5 years, they were only 22, he asked her to marry her a year ago and wants to set a date now for this upcoming year. She then told me how she really doesn't want to marry him, she loves him but doesn't want to get married and that she felt trapped.
I was stunned, I wasn't expecting that, i'm not sure what I was expecting but not that. We had a really good talk about marriage and what her version of a good marriage was and my version of a good marriage. It reaffirmed my testimony of an Eternal Marriage~

I don't know what she will do, I do know it left me very thankful for the person I married. I know all of us married to amazing people, I appreciate all the great examples of good marriages that I have seen. I am also thankful for some of the bad marriages that I have seen, to learn and grow from.

Ben and I are so opposite in many ways, but what I didn't know when I married him, is how a like we are in so many ways as well. He is an amazing person, and I don't know if anyone will ever see the Ben I see or will take the time to see. He is a natural leader, has a tender heart and of course an amazing father. I am so thankful for his help and support. He is my organizer, my even keel thought processor, sleeps through my restless legs, laughs when I show him a video of him sleeping, we were running some errands the other day and talked about all the places we wanted to go to and the ones we didn't, I was truly shocked that we were thinking so similar, the only one we didn't agree, he said he doesn't have the desire to go to Japan and I think Japan would be worth the trip. Oh WELL girls trip!!! :)

So blessed we get to do what we love together! Right now that is trying to be good parents!

Ps. We started a YouTube channel to put all of our family videos on, some are too big to load on Facebook or Blogger. If you want to take I peek, I will let you know when we have it up and running!
