30 Days of Thankfulness - #14 - Marriage

There's so much planning and prep that goes into the wedding day. The flowers, the dress, the food, the venue, the music. Time is invested into every tiny detail.


And while this day was entirely perfect...

...It's all the time that follows that turns out to be pure magic.

Marriage allows me to spend every single day with my best friend. He is the first thing I see when I get up in the morning, and the last thing I think about before I close my eyes to sleep. Marriage allows us to study one another, and to know each other better than anyone else in the world. Marriage challenges us to find new ways to show each other love. New ways to communicate. New ways to experience the gift of life.

I think that's the beauty of it all... marriage challenges us. To be more selfless, more loving, and more considerate. The journey makes us better. Together.


Thankful,
Lauren
