Marriage! Wow!!

[EmmaCat]

On the night before our wedding, I cried on my fiance. I know I'm independent, I think for myself, I can take care of myself, I've been through health issues like cancer and losing a kidney, and I told my man he didn't need me.

I'm not wife material, I told him. He gently looked at me and said, "You have forgotten I'm a cop. I need you. I need your independence, I need your strong personality, and I need your strength."

Oh my!

Now, I get it. When he comes home late, I don't panic. His job is tough and he often has to do paperwork and junk. He tries to call when he can. He always, so far, comes home.

My life has changed soooooo much ... living with him is a joy! Every night before bed, he leads with prayer and he seems to always find blessings. I don't know, but it feels like Heaven when he's lying next to me doing his little snoring thing that sounds like a cat's purr.

I hope he purrs in his sleep knowing I love him. He is wonderful!

All good things

Welcome to marriage! It has its up and downs at times but in the end your true love for each other (and God of course) will keep you together! On a bit of a interesting note my wife married me knowing my health issues including me having only one kidney. I to sort of said the same thing because I knew she would be getting into a lot marrying me. But she said she needed me and it doesn't matter what the world says is wrong with me. Thats true love!

Just remember when you face trials together to think back to this moment when it al felt special. Though I'd say make sure to make every moment special anyways!

Your post gave me tears of joy! Your wife is a dear, wise woman, and you are wonderful.

Ben, my hubby also said that night I cried: "Well, sweetie, I have two kidneys, so I reckon God gave us a spare."

We did have a tiny fuss on our honeymoon. I had been through the surgery and all before our wedding, and he noticed I was tired. Our honeymoon was in Washington, DC, and we were at the memorials. I said I wasn't tired, but he insisted we go back to the hotel. I fussed up a storm, but it's rather hard to argue with a 6'4" cop.

We went back to the hotel, I lay down -- just for a minute, I insisted stubbornly -- and I woke up almost two hours later, ha!

He took me right back to the memorials.

It sure is, especially with God the middle of it. And in the front, and the back, and all around us!

Thank you!

I do love being married ... I never thought I'd ever find anyone who would put up with me.

You know there's a thing called unconditional love when your husband even likes your cow.
