Today is our eleven year wedding anniversary. We’re still having as much fun as when we were married, more in fact, as we are actual grown-ups now instead of self-centered kids. And the decade+ of shared experiences, bad and good, only add to the flavor of our marriage.We listen to each other, compromise with each other, and unfailingly support each other. And we are ever polite to each other. Just because I know him better than anyone else in the world does not mean I am exempt from telling him “thank you” when he holds a door for me.
He brings me flowers for no reason, we still rub each other’s feet.
Sometimes he needs to sit on the computer for hours and blast virtual bugs into smithereens. Sometimes I need to curl up with a book in a quiet room. We respect these needs because we have total respect for each other.
He’s the best man I know, and I hope our son grows up to be just like him.
Happy anniversary, husband.
