Today I celebrate 8 years of being married to my best friend. I find it liberating to be able to be so close and intimate with someone who knows my faults, shortcomings, downfalls, and past and continue to love me. It might even be knowing those things brings us closer. He can make me experience a hundred different emotions. He can stand up to me and tell me when I am being selfish, foolish or simply ridiculous, although 99% of the time I know when I act like that and I just don't want to hear it. He is the most supportive one in the relationship that is for sure.
I get really frustrated with those marriages that end in divorce because I think marriage is a commitment ...not just always about being in love. But with him it is because I am in love that I want to stay committed and because of the commitment that I want to stay in love.
After 8 years, 1 baby with 1 on the way, and 2 moves for my career, the light we have experienced makes the shadows worth it.
"Adventure is out there"... and ours is still in the making, and I can't wait to see what happens...
