Marriage

Same day different topic...

As I look around me and see what the world thinks of marriage and love and relationships, I hope that my wife and I are more of an influence on my children than the world is...

My wife and I have been married for a 15 1/2 years for one and only one reason. We swore before God, family and friends that we were commitng the rest of our live together. We have not always loved each other, we have not even always liked each other. There are days that we can not even stand to be in the same room as each other.

But somwhere deep down inside I know that this is life. There is no one in this world that I can say I want to spend every waking moment of everyday of my life with. We are all going to disagree, we are all going to fight. The difference between my wife and the rest of the world is that I never swore to love the rest of teh world for eternity.

I love my wife more than life itself. Yes, there are things about her that drive me insane, there are parts of her life and personality that make me want to scream. But, I am not so ignorant to believe that she does not feel the same way about me.

I do not know what the future may hold and I can not swear that nothing will ever drive us apart... But, I can swear that it won't happen without a fight...

I am here because I love her...
I am here because I promised I would be...
I am here becase God expects me to be...

I AM HERE!

where are you?
