When Marriage is Right

 

Lance,

 

I love you.  I love how you make me feel.  I love how all my troubles and burdens are lightened with the knowledge that you are by my side.  Our marriage isn’t perfect.  We do argue, but overall, 90 percent of the time, I’m in an unearthly bliss.  I never thought marriage could be this wonderful or that life could be this happy.  I don’t want to take things for granted, and I don’t want to take you for granted. 

You and I are very similar. On the outside, it may appear that we are so different, but you and I are the same.  We are sensitive and passionate people. W are untraditional, quirky, kind of f**ked up but in that whirlwind of unconventionality  and sensitivity is a profound understanding and unconditional connection.  We were made for each other.  There is no doubt in my mind that you were specifically made for me and I for you.

You love me unconditionally.  You support my endeavours.  You calm my fears.  You comfort my tears.  You laugh with me. You share my dreams and goals.  You partner with me in our family.   You understand my mental issues.  Your love is an incomparable gift that I treasure, but the greatest thing that you have ever done for me is you bring me closer to God, Lance.  I cannot help but feel an insurmountable gratitude to God for you.   The more I love you, the more I get closer to God. 

I found this anonymous quote, and to me, it is you.

 Marry someone who makes you fall in love with God every single day.

 I did. I married someone that makes me fall in love with God every single day.  You make me fall in love with God every day, and I truly thank you for that.

 

Someone once asked me if this was all taken away tomorrow, would my feelings change towards God? Truthfully, it wouldn't.  I have been blessed.  I know one day things will change, but I also know that the greatest joy in life also comes with the greatest pain. 

I love you Lance.  I love you in a very, very deep way.
