There's a small part of me that wishes there was none of the heartbreak that came before our two lives intertwined, but without the pain from our pasts, we may not have been able to create the love story that exists today. I'm blessed to have you, a man that loves all of me and treats me like a princess. I'm blessed to be living a dream that wasn't born until you and I combined visions for what our life would be. Raising kids side by side, hands on at home and in their rearing, I know how fortunate I am to do this life together.
Remember how we got engaged after only three months. That was crazy to everyone else, I'm sure. But we both just knew. . .and God was seriously a part from the start. Once I walked away from a miserable five year relationship, I knew what I wanted and what I would no longer compromise. After having been married and with a child to consider, so did you. Together, we just worked. Whole-heartedly. Side by side. For better or worse. In good times and bad. In sickness and in health. . .and here we are celebrating another year.
Marriage is such a gift. Our kids don't even realize the blessing they are given day in and day out with parents who genuinely like each other and enjoy spending time together. They have two parents who value sitting down at the table for meals, who tuck them in and pray with them at night, who create family rituals we can all enjoy, who pray for their spouses already, and who demonstrate acts of loving service every single day. They have no idea that this marriage they are witnessing will help shape their own futures as spouses. But we do.
I know some will say marriage can be hard. But I can honestly say that with you, it hasn't been. Our marriage has been a gift that has helped me get through the hard times life has thrown at me. Two are always better than one. Thank you for being a part of my pair. With time, with prayer, with clear communication, and with patience and persistence our marriage has the ability to shape future generations. Our love story is part of the legacy we will leave behind and by golly, with the grace of God, it is going to be grand!
We chose each other to love.
We chose to do life together.
E, I am so happy that every day I make the choice to love you again and again and again. Best choices of my life. Ever.
