Promises to Forever

“Because we were an “us” now, and we were happy. And happiness seemed like a starting place for everything.” “Two married partners do not just live with each other, they live in each other, neurologically speaking.” “Marriage is not a competition. Marriage is the completion of two souls.” “My husband has made me laugh. Wiped my tears. Hugged me tight. Watch me succeed. Seen me fail. Keeps me strong. My husband is a promise that I will have a friend forever.” “It’s amazing how one day someone walks into your life, and you cannot remember how you ever lived without them.”  Marriage is not an event. It is a pure and blissful bond which ties you with your partner for the rest of your life. Marriage is a journey.
