what i've learned about love in my first year and 6 months of marriage...

loving my husband is not about me...it's not about what i can get or how i can benefit...it's just about giving...selflessly...about making him feel the best about himself...it's about doing the little things and the big things...it's about going the extra mile....and then going another mile with a joyful heart...it's about knowing what makes him happy and doing just that...it's about knowing what makes him tick and avoiding that...it's about encouraging him to dream big and live to fulfill that dream...it's about seeing the potential in him and nurturing that even if he seems a bit unsteady...it's about giving hugs...it's about planning surprises...it's about praying for him and fighting for him...it's being able to celebrate his successes as well as his failures...it's about loving him just as he is...it's about being honest to help him be better...it's about holding back the truth to avoid unnecessary heartache...it's about my heart breaking when his heart breaks...it's about caring for his family...it's about affirming him and his role as the man in my life.........[more to be added]....

loving my husband is the easiest thing and the hardest thing....it's easy to love him because he's so wonderful and perfect for me...it's hard to love him because sometimes i love me more. God teach me how to love my husband the way you love him.
