See You in the New Year!

By Fawn Weaver on Wednesday, December 26, 2012

Today is my last blog post until January 3rd.  Until then, Keith and I will be travelling around South America and interviewing couples happily married 25 years or more.  These will most certainly be some of my favorite interviews so far as they will be the first one’s I conduct with Keith by my side.

When I set out earlier this summer to travel the world in search of the secrets to a happy marriage, I had no idea the amazing adventures I’d discover.  From North America to Africa, Europe to Asia, Australia to New Zealand and now on to South America, the couples I’ve interviewed continue to confirm all the secrets to a happy marriage are not based on circumstances but rather the power of choice.

What many of you don’t know (because this is the first time I’m mentioning it on the blog), is my travels were in conjunction with my new publisher and will be documented in a book releasing in the fall of 2013.  I can’t wait until I’ll finally be able to share with you the amazing lessons I learned along this journey of a lifetime.

For your friends and family who think, as Henry Youngman once said, “The secret to a happy marriage remains a secret,” there will finally be a book that shares with them the universal secrets so many of you already know.  

As this year comes to a close -and I take a few days off to celebrate my Honey’s bday (he’s a Christmas eve baby), our wedding anniversary (it’s tomorrow :) ), Christmas, the New Year and to conduct my final interviews for the book- I want to say thank you for joining me throughout this year.  

Thank you for choosing to be a light in what can sometimes be a very dark and cold world.  And thank you for choosing happiness in your marriage and giving yourself permission to express that openly.  You have no idea how many people your love will impact.  

Every time I see a couple snuggled up in a corner, holding hands walking down the street or looking into each other’s eyes across a dinner table, I think of you.  I know, at any given moment, I could be looking at one of the members of this club.  I love that about meeting you online and then believing I’ll also see many of you in person…without even knowing it.

Until next year…make every moment count!

Why I Love My Husband (the never-ending list):

26. He’s unselfish.  So much so he’s spending our wedding anniversary in Uruguay sitting by my side as I interview a couple for the book.

27. He admits when he’s wrong (and usually without my prompting).

28. And when he’s right he never throws it in my face.

29. He’s gentle in his approach with me.  He knows I’m a strong woman but still need to be handled gently.

30. He loves making love to me.

31. He’ll talk on the phone with me for hours…even though he doesn’t like talking on the phone.

32. He calls me throughout his busy work day just to check in and see how my day is going.

33. He does this thing with his eye brows -lifting them up and down in rapid succession- to let me know he’s still checking me out.

34. He pledged to be with me til’ death do us part.  And I believe him.

35. He washes dishes

36. He folds clothes.

37. He never complains.

38. He makes sure to take me out at least once a week.
