Over the past few years, marriage continues to be under attack in America.
This post is not intended to open up a discussion about the legalities of marriage, I am simply taking note of all the things I love about marriage.
If you’re not married, I still think most of these apply to any important relationship in your life.
These are in no particular order and please add to the list in the comments.
- Companionship
- Love
- Laughter
- Sex
- Connection
- Dancing with my wife (and my kids)
- Shared adventure and dreams
- Passion
- Friendship
- Watching a movie together under a blanket
- Deep conversations
- Simple conversations
- Hearing someone say “I love you”
- Knowing the little quirks of another human being
- Co-parenting our children
- Being authentic
- All the inside jokes between us
- Memories of past experiences together
- Trust
- Shared values
- Holding hands
- Seeing her from across the crowded room
- Lazy mornings together
- Shared responsibilities of life
