A lot of things inspire me to want to keep my marriage healthy and happy. One of them is meeting other wives who are making it work every day, and loving it! I knew quite a few before I said “I do”, and since Man Wife and Dog Blog was born I’ve met so many more. They’re all so fabulous that I want you to meet them too. This week, meet my one of my favorite wife bloggers, Laura Lewis!

The Wife: Laura, 26

The Man: Brad, 25

But You Can Call Them: The Lewis’

How She Snagged Him: “hrough mutual friends he found me on My Space and we met two weeks later and have been inseparable ever since.”

Married Since: 4.17.10

The Dog: Meet Dakota, the couple’s energetic and spoiled rotten Cocker/Springer mix.

Place They Call Home: “A nice 2 bedroom townhome in Southern California.”

How She Pays the Bills: Administrative Specialist for Research Grants at her alma mater

How He Pays the Bills: Manager of his family business

What Makes Her Man Hot: “Those blue eyes and his hilarious personality.”

A Wife Highlight: “Every time I say ‘my husband’ I still get all giddy, it’s a great feeling!”

A Wife Gripe: “I wish we could afford for me to be a stay-at-home housewife! I love cooking dinner but by the time I get home from work cooking is the last thing on my mind.”
Marriage Mantra: “Happy wife, happy life!”

The 2-Year Plan: “We are currently in the process of renting out our townhome so that we can purchase a new home in the next six months. We will spend the next year making our new pad our own while getting ready to start our family!”

Wifey Wisdom: “Learn to fess up and say you’re sorry during those {few} times you really are wrong. It will surprise your husband and you will actually feel good afterward.”
