I have been thinking a lot lately about marriage. I work in a retirement home and I get to be around quite a few couples who have made it through life together and have been in each others lives for 50+ years. I have seen how these couples treat eachother, how they take care of each other, and most importantly how they love each other. I have heard their pet names, seen quiet signs of affection, and I have seen many relationships that I would love to model my marriage after. When I see all of these couples around me it makes me so happy. I love to watch as a husband brings breakfast in bed up to his wife, or see a wife fret over her husbands health. It gives me hope that I will be there someday. I want to have a relationship that has stood the test of time and more importantly one that is ready to face eternity. I have watched as spouses of my residents have passed and I have seen them grieve and silently accept their loss, and I have also heard them talk of reuniting with their sweetheart and the joy it will bring. I love marriage and in a world where marriage is losing my merrit I want to say that I believe in marriage and it is definitely a relationship worth fighting for. I love my husband more than words can express and I am so happy that we have a marriage that will last not only for time but for eternity!
