well, i’ve had marriage on the brain here lately. not because i’m ready. not because i really want to right now. not because i’m dying to have a big, fancy wedding. but primarily, i think, because i’ve found the person i’d like to spend the rest of my life with.
partner and i have been dating on and off for the past year and a half. it hasn’t always been easy…i guess sometimes guys people just need a little bit of time to really commit to something good. but now that we’ve made the relationship official, it feels like we are both working towards something solid and wonderful together.
i’m not an easy person to deal with. i’m emotional, reactive, outspoken, and hard-headed, on my best days. but partner deals with it and makes me better than i ever could be on my own. i hope i fill up his empty places too. and so even though i’m loving every single minute of our relationship, i can’t help but hope and pray for a future with him…that involves rings and homes and babies and growing old together.
in light of all these marital thoughts, i came across this article, and i just think it’s good. i want to go ahead and get in the habit of respecting and supporting my future husband, whoever he may be, and this article put some things in perspective. i thought some of you might get something beneficial from it.
