This week has been a tough one. It's been full of ups and downs and in-betweens; had I never married Derek (and into the United States Army), I'd never have known that life could feel this tumultuous. The uncertainty of everything (when he's going to call, how his mood will be, how long we'll get to talk) makes me unsettled and worried, although I clearly have nothing to worry about...
This "rule" that I found inspired me tonight. What stood out to me was the phrase that the greatest relationships will "challenge every view you've ever had." I'd have to say that's a fairly accurate statement to make about my marriage to Derek - he challenges me, pushes me harder to be successful, supports me in my decisions, and always reminds me why I love our differences so much. I always hear his voice in my mind throughout the day, promising me that one day our lives won't be this crazy, that one day all this uncertainty will go away. No matter how frustrated I get with this distance, this worry, this huge amount of time that separates us, he never fails to bring me back to earth by saying three little words: I love you.
We're not the perfect pair, the two of us, but we definitely have something amazingly special that bonds us. And I think you'd call that something, love.
