What is it about marriage that makes me so happy? Love. It's the love. I've been in love with the concept my whole life. I really like books about romance, movies about romance, songs about romance. Undying love for another. It's all good. I know that love can last a lifetime, but there are so many variations to the thing. So many different marriages. Lots of people loving in different ways. Independence in a marriage is what keeps it together I think. Then why do I have to be so dang clingy sometimes!!!!!?????Monday, August 06, 2007

I absolutely agree. Independence and wholeness in yourself is absolutely essential in a healthy marriage.
We had a poem read at our wedding-from The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran.
Love one another but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together, yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
Thank you Heidi. That was perfect.
