Define love. Love is unconditional. Meaning: Through tough times and good times, through sickness and in health, through disagreements and agreements. It means NO MATTER WHAT, you still love your partner more then ever. Sometimes this is hard when things don't go as planned, but you know what, I think being able to be forgiven, and to forgive are the bonding elements of Love. It creates a bond so tough nothing can penetrate it. I've learned from past experiences that it not only lets you grow closer to your partner, but it also strengthens you as a person. Putting your spouse before yourself is the number one thing you can do! It allows you to always serve your spouse and have that happy feeling of making them happy all the time. When you're mad at them, it will be harder not to forgive them. Granted there are those few situations where it's no longer healthy to be in that relationship, but that's your judgment and only you can make that decision. I have had to get used to a completely different life style being married to my spouse. I've always been used to, outdoor activities every day, exercise and eating healthy, making all holidays special, going out and spending time with other people together as a family, going on family home evening dates. My spouse on the other hand has grown up with video games as a main entertainment, never leaving his friends basement, being out with the guys and just spending time with his friends in general. So when we got married I had to get used to not only 2x as much as laundry and dishes, but also having to pick up after him, and getting to accept the amount of time spent playing video games. I also had to get used to me gaining weight because of the food my spouse liked, and our time together would consist of us either playing video games together or watching movies together. All reverting around no exercising, no eating healthy, and no outdoor activities. It's been a year now and I'm still battleing my weight, my food habits, and my outdoor activity time. It has been overwhelming to me of how much I've changed since I've been married. Although my husband doesn't like doing outdoor activities, or going out to town to just walk around all the time, he is in the Military, and he has sacraficed so much for this country and for me. He works two jobs, and is supporting us very well. He is a wonderful husband and listens to me, a quality not all men have. He makes time for me, although it took a while for him to get used to the fact that video games weren't as important as his wife ;) he got the hang of it, and is doing wonders! I personally have been through a lot throughout my marriage and I am so blessed for every one of those trials because it has made me a stronger person, a more responsible person, and my love for my husband is deeper and stronger then anything I've ever imagined. Thanks to my wonderful loving husband I've come to be a better person, and the happiest I've ever been.
I love you babe, and I'm so grateful for you! Thank you for all that you do!! You're my number one!!!! -Wife
