I have the best husband! I do not say it enough and I need to say it more.I have a friend who told me once that when she sees older couples, not newlyweds, holding hands or kissing or sitting really close in public she thinks, "They are just faking it. Nobody really feels that way after a few years of marriage."
I was so saddened by her statement! I really feel like being close to my husband. In fact, I have asked him to hold my hand more in public and he is happy to oblige. Neither of us are perfect, but we still have that lovin' feelin'. We have weathered the storms of life and held onto the most beautiful of gifts that Heavenly Father has for us - an Eternal Marriage.
I just want to wish my honey a happy birthday!
I am so thankful for the love he shows for me and our children, how hard he works for our family, and for all the crap he has put up with from me over the past 16 years. He has weathered my mental health issues, overcoming abuse from my past, and an ex-husband. Well, the list could go on, but you get the idea.He married me without ever knowing if we would be sealed in the Temple. He just took a huge leap of faith. We were blessed to be sealed for Time and All Eternity on December 6, 1993, just three weeks after being married for Time Only in the Temple. I didn't know then what a special man I married, but I do now.
We love you!
AWESOME! Keep going strong! Glad ya caught a good one :)
ReplyDeleteYa know, those pictures don't seem like they were taken that long ago! Ü Happy Birthday, Mike!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine NOT wanting to hold hands, sit close to, or kiss my husband. It seems your friend thinks of marriage as something that kills affection--how sad! Marriage, like anything worthwhile--is a lot of work--but worth it!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful blessings! Happy Birthday to Mike! You have a beautiful family! :D)
