Marriage is...

Walking across a parking lot holding hands

Lying in bed knowing you are not alone

Breakfast in bed

Bringing home flowers on Tuesday just because
it is the day after Monday

Sitting quietly together watching the sunset

Looking forward to every day

Bringing happiness to each other

Getting up at 2am for the babies because she is tired

Never going to sleep angry

Watching Junkyard Wars because he wants to

Watching HGTV because she wants to

Placing each other above all else
 

The entire sum of existence is the magic of being needed by just one other person —Vi Putnam
