Truly in Love

I am truly in love with my best friend! Today we played tennis together and I was so impressed with my husband's athletic abilities. I am amazed that at such a young age I've already met my soulmate and we've already been married a year and a half. He is an absolute keeper and I am so blessed in so many ways by our life and adventures together! I have always found it annoying when my married friends post on Facebook the day or week etc. after their wedding that they love being married! Even before I was married this annoyed me. I just feel like that is too premature and I've always thought 'you mean your loving the sex/honeymoon not marriage!' But this got me thinking.... When has someone earned the right to say "I love being married!" or "I love being married to this person." My grandparents who have been married over 50 years have certainly earned the right... And my parents who have been married for more than 25 have too.. In my opinion. But it is difficult to say when it is okay before that. Okay being defined as not grossly annoying. Yet I really do love being married to and in a relationship with Hans. He is my best friend. He is silly. He is a hard worker. His list of amazing traits could go on for miles! But we have fights too yet I still would not want to be with anyone else; in all the ups and downs Hans is my best friend! I am grateful to God that Hans is who I get to live with, laugh with, fight with, relax with, watch hockey with, go on adventures with, and everything else in this crazy life.… I want to be with him through it all. Marriage is not something I would lightly recommend to anyone. It is a huge commitment and I am blessed to be with the right person for me. If I was with anyone else I do not believe I would have as much fun or grow as much or anything else. I hope others remember with marriage that the goal of life I not to get married but that with the right person marriage is a truly beautiful thing and such a blessing from God!
