He Rarely Repeats a Mistake

Danny 4-7-12

One thing I've always admired about my husband is that he truly tries not to repeat mistakes--even the minor ones.

Years ago when the block buster movie "Titanic" came out, everyone was raving about how wonderful it was.  Everyone except me, of course, because I hadn't seen it.  I usually let my husband pick the movies we see because he gets such a kick out of it.  Apparently, he wasn't interested in seeing "Titanic."  One day I teased him about the fact that I was the only girl on the planet who had not seen the movie.  He scheduled a date night and took me to see "Titanic."

In honor of the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, the 3D version of "Titanic" just came out, and he didn't wait this time. We saw it this afternoon.  Seeing the movie was great, but being reminded of how much my husband values our marriage was priceless.  It's a small thing, and if I had never seen either version of the movie it wouldn't have been the end of the world, or even our marriage.  The effort that he made to please me, however, does not go unnoticed.  As a matter of fact, it will be cherished forever.

One of the reasons I think we have a good marriage is because this is Danny's second marriage.  He tries really hard at this marriage because he doesn't want a second mistake.  To say that he gives 110% would be putting it mildly; he gives his all--and THAT is why I love him.
