Marriage is a thousand little things..
It’s giving up your right to be right in the heat of an argument. It’s forgiving another when they let you down. It’s loving someone enough to step down so they can shine. It’s friendship. It’s being a cheerleader & trusted confidant. It’s a place of forgiveness that welcomes one home and arms they can run to in the midst of a storm.
Only once in your life you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will come true, goals that will be achieved. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile.
I’m not asking for a fairy tale. Not the pumpkin. Not the dress. But I expect that both of us are going to show up to this thing like gladiators. With shields. And swords. And cool armor. And all the things it would take to fight for one another, over & over & over again. You, my dear, are already my favorite thing to fight for. Did you know that? 
Happiness is being married to your best friend.
