I discovered a new diary read today. In my exploration of the site, I found something that really touched my heart. Thank you so much, MOO for sharing such beautiful thoughts on marriage. Of course I emailed this to Ron right away. Now I feel like I should have saved it 'cause I'm just BOMBARDing him with love this week. HA! Oh well, he needs it! So here it is...
"Why Marriage?"
"Because to the depths of me, I long to love one person,
With all my heart, my soul, my mind, my body...
Because I need a forever friend to trust with the intimacies of me,
Who won't hold them against me,
Who loves me when I'm unlikable,
Who sees the small child in me, and
Who looks for the divine potential of me...
Because I need to cuddle in the warmth
of the night
With someone who thanks God for me,
With someone I feel blessed to hold...
Because marriage means opportunity to grow in love in friendship...
Because marriage is a discipline
To be added to a list of achievements...
Because marriages do not fail, people fail
When they enter into marriage
Expecting another to make them whole...
Because, knowing this, I promise myself to take full responsibility for my spiritual, mental and physical wholeness
I create me,
I take half of the responsibility for my marriage
Together we create our marriage...
Because with this understanding
The possibilities are limitless"
*Whew* Now I have to go wipe the mush off my feet...
