I Love My Husband!


Welcome to pour your heart out Friday! So I've discovered that blogging is a good outlet for me to express myself in ways I'm not normally able to. Warning, sappiness to follow...
I've just got to say that Matt is the most wonderful husband in the world! When my first marriage failed it was one of the hardest things I've had to go through. I have always been successful at everything I've ever done (sounds like an outlandish claim but it's true) and I don't like admitting defeat. I also really struggled with severe feelings of inadequacy because if I couldn't keep the attention of the ex and he strayed after just a few years then how was I supposed to find someone to love me for the rest of our lives and all eternity? And this was the point in my life when I met Matt. We started dating right as my divorce was finalized and I knew right away there was a huge connection there. It was so amazing to me that not only had I found someone who was willing to date a 25-year-old divorcee but he stuck by me through it all. He was willing to fight for me when I had my freak outs and wanted to break up he wouldn't let me throw our relationship away. He supported me as I worked to put the shattered pieces of myself back together. And he loved me through it all. His love is what filled the holes in my heart.
The day we said "I Do" was the best day of my life! (Actually, on a side note, we actually never said "I Do", he said "Absolutely" and I said "Without a doubt"! Love it!) Every day since then has been just as wonderful! Because of Matt I know what true love is. He has taught me what absolute happiness is and how marriage is supposed to be. I love him with all my heart and am so grateful to have him in my life!
