"Guasping" life

Yes..I am married to a Guasp.  I come from a very conservative family.  Don't talk about sex..don't do this.. don't do that.  Don't hang out with people who smoke or drink or swear.  If you swear you go to hell..at least that's what I thought before I graduated and went out into the real world.  I learned that sex is fun..but should be respect and only in marriage.  That hanging out with people who smoke can make you stinky doesn't mean that they as people are stinky.  That drunk people are really funny and you don't need to drink to have fun with them.  And sometimes you just need to say shit to get the edge off of a Monday.  Now I don't cuss all the time.  Thanks to my dear husband..I only do it when I am mad..not just at him.  I remember one day in particularly saying S@#* to him. He looked at me and said, "Sarah, I don't think you should cuss.  I don't cuss because there isn't a need for it."  I immediately stopped after that.  Flash forward to after he has gotten out of boot camp with the Marine Corps, we are driving back home and all I can remember about our Bickering(I capitolized the B because it was a fight, but fight just sounds down right dirty) is that he cussed, "S*#%!"  I start cryin.  "Sarah, what is wrong with you?" Brad asks "I'm not crying because we are [Bickering].  I am crying becasue you can swear and I can't!"  He immediately stopped swearing too.  It's become so normal to just cuss here and there.  I don't mind it.. The D word, S word, A word and H word are sometimes brilliantly used.  But the F word and saying God in vain makes you look like the A word.  I would look at someone in a whole different light if they did used those words then if they didn't.  Just thinking about it.
