Billy and I met just over 3 years ago ( How Bird Met Bee ) and we’ve been married for a little over 1 ( Our Official Wedding Ceremony ).
I LOVE HIM. Oh boy, do I ever.
I think it’s apparent on my blog:
But what does that love really mean?
Do I love him because he gives me foot massages, cooks me delicious meals, goes on picnics and bike rides with me? Do I love him because he takes out the trash?
Of course I love him for all of those reasons, and many more, but loving him isn’t about the things he does for ME. It’s about HIM. His heart, his generosity, and his playful, happy spirit. And I’m learning to love him better each and everyday. How?
In yesterday’s post, I wrote,
“Nurture relationships with people who are willing to listen, learn, and love.”
I want to be the person who is willing to listen, learn, and love. I’m getting to know him better. I’m listening to him, learning more about his wants and needs, and loving him in an unconditional way. I recognize how much my emotions, my words, and my attitude influence him. I am grateful that I can offer him positivity, hope, and love.
The thing about marriage, or any relationship for that matter, is that there are times when one person needs more support and encouragement based on life’s current circumstances. That’s why it’s a partnership and a best friendship.
Do you listen, learn, and love in your relationships?
