Marriage

 

Marriage. It's incredible, priceless, indescribable. I was recently told to be ready for the hurt marriage will bring me and I'm shocked and saddened by that bitter approach because I have experienced a deeper, more intimate love than I could have ever imagined possible. Because of this beautiful commitment, I love deeper and I'm loved deeper. Before saying those two famous words, I do, I had a fear of commitment, I had a fear of letting every single wall down and being completely vulnerable to getting hurt. But wow, it has been more than worth moving past those fears. It's worth all the insecurities and the vulnerabilities and all the walls that were instantly broken down as I became his and he became mine. It's worth the surrender of the what if's and the I wants. There will be hurt and we will have our struggles. But marriage is a gift and a beautiful one at that. Walking hand in hand on this journey has given me a love so unique and a love so deep. It's left me in that much more awe of the One who designed this beautiful commitment and who gifted me with my husband. Here's to learning something new about life, love, and marriage every day and allowing you to peek in on my successes & failures, my do's & don'ts, and my many lessons learned as a new wife.
