Recently I have been blessed with growth in regards to relationships, partners, spouces. It has come after years and years of struggle, mistakes and a very diffulcult foundation (childhood examples, pain and so on). In fact until now no matter how I yerned for this it was not possible, until some things were healed, removed, done...For now I will end this but will add more later.
Vows...so much more to a few minutes and much more important than all the preparation it takes to get to say them. I recently heard someone say, we spend more time preparing for our weddings than we do our marriage. WOW! Like child rearing there are no handbooks, well unless you take into account all the books out there that people seek out only after there are problems. And of course we have (like parenting) what we grew up with, and sometimes that is not such a good thing.
Do you remember your vows, the words, the meaning, the commitment? The man or women you stood infront of and said those words to? Or were they just a small part of the show, the event? Did you ponder and consider the words you were going to say to this person, the promise you making? Did you believe the passion, the love the feelings you had for that person would take you through anything that came your way? Did you have an ideal of what "marriage" "love" should look like?
You found the person that understood you better than anyone has, someone you want to raise a family with, build a home, a future. Someone who would be a witness to your life?
I have been so blessed, even in the dark days when my growth was at its strongest, I have always had a way to find the light. In this I have found the truest meaning of committing and falling in love and sharing my life with someone, forever and a day.
