When I was younger, in fact when I was very young, there was one thing that I wanted more than anything. I wanted to be with someone who wanted me as much as I wanted them. I remember going through years where I thought that the likelihood of that ever happening was slim at best. As I got older I did have a few boyfriends but I never got to the point where I felt like I had what I was looking for. I never got the feeling of security that I wanted. I was either looking for more or I just didn’t trust anyone enough to be the real me. When I met Mark though, everything changed. Within a week of knowing him he made me feel safer than I had ever felt in my life. He showed me with his actions and his words how much I meant to him and enabled me to fall in love with him fully. Now after 10 years of marriage I realize that what I have is what I spent most of my life looking for. I have a best friend who can be honest with me. When he’s proud of me he makes sure that I know it. When I’m being stupid or being a jerk he makes sure that I know it as well. It may take me a while to admit it, but deep down I always know that his intentions are good and he simply wants me to be the best that I can. He expects the best of me and I expect the best from him. Neither of us is perfect but because we’re together our lives are good, even when circumstances aren’t the best. I guess that’s what true love really is, knowing that no matter how bad it gets everything is going to be ok because you have someone and they have you.
