My thoughts on marriage! Work! So much work with the steepest learning curve that just keeps on going but somehow seems to get easier! In the beginning one thinks it is about what we are getting, thinking we are in love when in reality marriage is all about giving and learning about love. Learning to love takes a lifetime and giving of yourself even when you dont feel like it! Marriage in the natural makes no sense whatsoever! It is a series of life events, it is beautiful and ugly, birth and death, full of addictions and selfishness with moments of selflessness and discipline, innumerable hurts and countless joys. It is typified by juxposition of illusion & realism. There are numerous thoughts of giving up but at the end of the day in clarity you know the grass is only greener where you water it and only with God all things are possible! How else but with God could two entirely different people become one flesh! What I know today is that it is hard work, daily work, always giving, forgiving, doing and with that we reap a great reward! There is beautiful comfort and joy that comes with 22 years of familiarity! Knowing someone else almost better than you know yourself. Knowing likes and dislikes and appreciating differences. Trying not to get lost in the monotony which happens on some days but learning to appreciate one another for what you are and knowing you make each other better then what you would ever be alone! It is a crazy journey full of pleasure and pain with a very thin line between the two! There are still moments when this feeling of love is so overwhelming you think youll burst and there are also moments of painful disappointment and anger but at the end of it all you know that you know you are with your split apart and there is no place else youd rather be! It is worth it and love is seen in the quiet moments of holding hands when words arent spoken and in that moment when you wake up in the middle of the night and you reach over just to to touch your split apart and in that sleepy moment you just ask God to bless them and protect them! Marriage is a still a great mystery to me but I cant imagine my life without Phillip Rueff! The only man I would ever want to be on this journey with! He is indeed my split apart!
