Year 2 of Forever: A new beginning.

It’s our 2nd wedding anniversary and I’m thinking I probably shouldn’t have tasked myself to write a post every anniversary because this year, I’m not sure what to say.

I watched a lot of Disney movies as a child. Almost everyone of them ended up with the characters falling in love, getting married and living happily ever after. Subconsciously, that taught me that marriage was a finish line. It was the perfect ending to every love story.

In our second year, I’ve found out that marriage is not a finish line. It actually signifies new beginnings. It signifies dropping old habits…giving some things up. I've had to give pride up. I have someone I can lean on and ask for help. I've had to give fear up. I have someone who took a vow to never leave me. I've had to give ‘giving up’ up. I have someone that will fight with me and for us.

In our second year, I have learnt that God blesses us with the gift of marriage so we don’t have to walk through life alone. My pain is his pain. My joy is his joy. My struggle with infertility is his struggle with infertility. My heart is safe in his hands. Truly, a healthy marriage is a gift from God and how fortunate I am to be blessed with such a beautiful gift.

Cheers to Year 2. Forever to go.
