A couple of months ago I was in the car with my daughter and she told me that there is a song that I needed to hear. She said the song reminded her of my relationship with her dad.
The next time we were in the car she played it for me. It is called “Still Into You” by Paramore.
While my husband was driving, I listened carefully to the lyrics, intensely curious how my 11-year-old daughter perceived her parent’s relationship.
It brought tears to my eyes.
“Still Into You” is an upbeat song that shares a realistic view of a happy and healthy relationship.
Essentially the song is a woman saying to her man that, after all the time they have been together, she is still into him.
That even though sometimes things can be rough, she is still into him.
That, after all this time, she still gets butterflies.
I was touched that such a positive song, with a happy and realistic view of a relationship, was something that reminded my daughter of her dad and I.
All I could think was,
“We must be doing something right!”
As a mom there is an endless battle in my head over whether or not I am doing it right. Am I raising them right? Am I a good Mom? Am I modeling a healthy marriage?
Having my daughter play this song for me gave me a rare moment in thinking that, “I must be doing something right.”
After she played the song for me, I started to think about the different ways that her dad and I work to model a healthy marriage to our children and wanted to share that with you.

I love that song. It really is awesome to hear such a positive message about relationships. Great post#
Me too. Paramore is awesome!
A girl tells her man????!!!
You kind of lost me there. (Do you mean a woman tells her man? Or a girl tells a boy?)
Thanks.
HI there. Sorry for the confusion. I clarified it in the article for you. It is a woman telling her man. Thanks for bringing to my attention.
