Dear Reader,

Today my husband and I have been married 31 years. It feels like we've been together all of our lives, yet it also feels like we're just beginning the journey. Such a happy, loving marriage, we are truly blessed.

Wedding anniversaries make you think about love and romance, but that's not what I'm thinking about today. (Not that there's any problem in the romance department.) Today, I feel thankful and so very fortunate to have married a man who has helped me create a life that I never dreamed possible, until I met him. My husband makes me feel loved and cared for, and he's given me the opportunity to experience a sense of family--something I never felt when I was growing up. And whenever I want to learn something new, my husband supports my desire to try and cheers me on.

It's true anniversaries make you think about love and romance, but I guess what I'm trying to say, is the most romantic moments of my marriage are in the day-to-day happenings of life, and being married to my dear husband makes me love every minute of them.

Happy Anniversary, Bob...Love, Suzanne

Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.

Hi Suzanne:

Congratulations on a lasting, loving and enduring marriage. My hubby and I have been married 47 years. There have been good times and bad, sometimes tragic, times but the one sustaining thing has been our love. If asked what makes a good sustaining marriage I might say feeling cherished as well as supported by your husband/wife. Of course in reality there is so much more – having each other’s support through thick and thin, being able to overlook each others imperfections, a lasting passion for each other – yes, even at our age, and don’t forget the comment I heard tonight from the love of my life, “you looked hot” even though at this age I believe he sees me mostly through eyes filled with love. But then, seeing someone though eyes filtered with love sustains many things including a marriage. Suzanne, you are a gem able to reach so many people with your down to earth writing, just another blessing – being able to appreciate many things that might have been overlooked when younger. Thank you, it’s been and will be a pleasure reading with you!
Barbara
