Irony Of Marriage

Love for me is not always about freedom. It is so much more. It can be about suffering. It can be about serving. It can be about Being there for someone. . .honor and cherish are big concepts that ideally can be associated with marriage/ Love. Sharing and growing together through fifty years of Life has certainly had its ups and downs: times of feeling the Love and times of not. Times of giving/being the Love and times of not. I have friends who are married and friends who are not and we all experience fulfillment as well as loneliness. I feel it is in the giving as well as the receiving that Love grows in us ... within and without marriage ... Marriage for me means giving each other room to grow into our best selves.
