Mark and I have been married five years today. Life has certainly not been easy for the two of us, rather it be separately or together, we've had our fair share of tough times. But the truth is, looking back, I wouldn't have picked another soul to share my journey with me. Mark has been my rock, my voice of reason, my shelter and I to him. It hasn't always been easy, but we've done it together and because of that, I believe we have a great marriage that will stand the test of time.
I've said it many times, I don't believe in soulmates. I think people use this term loosely to describe their relationships. I think the term takes away from the depth of the actually marriage and it simply doesn't give the couple credit for the hardwork and dedication that they put in daily to their marriage. When I hear someone say, "We're soulmates", it's like they are saying "It's easy" and I don't believe that. Maybe that's because Mark and I have seemed to have had all our difficult times at once and early in our marriage, I don't know, but we've worked very hard to keep our marriage vibrant and strong. I think more people should take credit for their marriages.
I have a wonderful husband and if marriages are destined or "made in heaven" then mine certainly was one of them. If I ever thought I was talented enough, I'd love to write a book about our entire relationship. It really is quite interesting, at least to me. I'm a very lucky woman, I have a very wonderful husband and I am very happy with my life and my marriage. I only hope that everyone, at some point in their life, gets to experience the type of love that I share with Mark.
"...Ever thine, Ever mine, Ever ours"....
