Husband Talk (don't get freaked out)

I don't think I have the Disney princess view of love and marriage in my brain, but I do have some expectations. I was reading The Good Women Project the other day, and guest writer Annie wrote this concerning marriage: "It’s not about just you anymore. It’s waking up and realizing your dreams didn’t die, but now you have someone who can help you achieve them, and you’re responsible for helping them accomplish theirs too." 

I dig that. I don't want some guy to think that by marrying me, all his dreams are going to be crushed. I think a lot of guys believe that's what will happen. I would want my husband to trust me enough and know that I value his dreams enough to help make them happen. I don't have "dream crusher" stamped across my forehead. If you want to make a dream come true, by all means, let's get on it. I'll help you.

In return, I'd expect my husband to be supportive of my dreams and encourage me. I mean, if someone is rooting for you, and pushing you to get where you want to be, how could you not reach your goals? Life's not a one-man show. You need a support system. I mean, if I had someone keeping me accountable for drafting/revising my novels, I probably would have had one published three years ago. Or you know, at least have sent it off to a publishing house for consideration.

On a completely different note, if I ever acquire a better half and we happen to bear children, I totally want my husband to wear sunglasses, a leather jacket, and do this:

Oh. My. Heavens. How hot is a dad wearing a baby in a sling? Sizzling. I kind of want one.
