Marriage
I believe marriage is sacred.
And such an incredible privilege to be cradled with care.
Is it easy peasy? No.
Two different people with different personalities merging together to love and cherish each other forever? That’s no small feat.
But I am thankful over and over again for my #1 and strive to make him just that. I am so lucky he is willing to be my partner through all the tough stuff that has come our way. That I get to celebrate with him and mourn with him and grow together through the years.
I wrote about our love story years ago, and so grateful to have it captured here on the blog.
