The beautiful thing about marriage is that you have someone who feels that your happiness is as important as their own. Love has a magical way about it, your eyes are opened as to how your happiness is so closely tied to your partner’s happiness and when children arrive, you really learn how vulnerable your heart can become. Ask any parent to imagine their life without their child and you will see tears and fear in their eyes. Moreover ask any loving couple to imagine their life without their partner in life and you will get a similar reaction.
My hubby shows me how much my happiness and health matter to him everyday. Last night my hubby decided that we needed to get away together to Boston so that I may rest and this morning he suggested that a long soak in our room’s beautiful tub would be the very thing that would do me some good. He was right, the soaps are scented with lemon verbena, one of my favorite scents and the hot water did a lot of good to my bones and joints.
Boston is one of my favorite places and being with my hubby is definitely one of many favorite things to do. This year will make 23 years of marriage, the exact amount of time that I had lived prior to being married, crazy to realize that this year marks the juncture between 23 years of single life and 23 years of married life. After this I will always be marred for longer than I was single.

We are coming up for 14 years married in a couple of weeks. I enjoyed reading your reflections. We went to Boston for our tenth anniversary – time certainly flies!
I found that after ten years, time seemed to speed up. I don’t know if it coincided with the babies getting busier with after school activities which meant our lives got incredibly busier being at several different places all the time or if that is just what happens when you get older. Either way, I want to find a way to stop the speeding and get back to a crawling speed. I am sure that I am not alone in this wish.:)
I was talking to my mum about this very thing last night. She says it only gets faster!
Argh. We don’t want faster. Oh well what can you do, I guess we’ll have to hang on, record the moments on WordPress and enjoy the ride.:)
What a treat! Nice hubby 😀
He is a good hubby 😀 I’ll tell him that you said that, he will be so happy. 🙂
