Mark and I started dating 33 years ago.
We became best friends and fell in love. I am so blessed to have been married to the love of my life for over 25 years. Staying married and being together until 'death do us part' is non-negotiable for us.
I still get excited when I see him. If he sends me a special text telling me he loves me or an email telling me I'm beautiful, my face lights up and my heart is full.
Everyday is not a fairytale. Marriage means committing to real life together. Forever. Marriage is a Vow. Not a contract.
My husband adores me and I love and and respect him.
My love for him has continued to grow and to honor him I'm making a list of what I love about him. It will continue to grow as I am reminded daily of his many character attributes that have captured my heart.
