Happy Ever After

My “crazy husband” and I have been married for 7 years now. And in all those years, plus the 4 years I’ve known him prior, Christian has consistently made me the happiest.

We know each other so well that we complete each other’s sentences. We laugh at the oddest things, like lines from the movie, Pulp Fiction. I can watch him play God of War 3 and be content. He can patiently wait for me to finish whatever working event I have to attend, even those deadly ones that begin at 1am. Most nights we have what you call companionable silence. I putter around while he plays his PS3. We hold hands while watching TV, or reading in bed (me with a book, him with a laptop). I know he makes me happy because I am unhappiest when he’s not by my side. 

Love should be so simple and so easy. Love should make you happy (and not otherwise). There is a Greek myth that we are actually hermaphroditic creatures who were cut in half by Zeus. Wait patiently, maintain a happy outlook and your other half will come along. And if you find him, hold him and never let go.
