No, it's not our anniversary or anything. This image in front of our hallway mirror just made me think of the covenants we have made in a temple of God and how we were sealed by authorized priesthood authority, married for this life and beyond death.
Stuck together, bound, intertwined lives and souls. Hopes and futures, and now 20+ years of history!
How could we have known so young that we were making the right decision? A choice that would impact the rest of our existence?
Sobering, how important that decision really is. Not something you want to do on a whim, or without lots of thought and prayer.
I think that is where personal revelation comes in. He prayed before he asked me to marry him, wanting to know if this was a good choice. I prayed to know, too. And we keep working at it. Living happily ever after means lots of talking, listening, forgiving, working, understanding, loving, being together. Thinking unitedly and in terms of us and we, not me, me, me, me, me, ME.
I need this man. He is good for me, uplifts me, helps me when I feel sad, builds my confidence, encourages me, entertains me, makes me laugh, listens when I cry and struggle for words. Holds me, and rubs lotion on my sore shoulders. I love parenting with him, taking care of our home and children. I love being with him socially, seeing how funny he is in crowds (needed him last night for crowd control during the seminary activity. HE could have gotten the guys off the stage and involved in the activity...) I couldn't do all this without him.
And I think I'm good for him, too. Check out his smile!
