Our Marriage...

...is defined by the 12 years of history and stories we share.

...is defined by the moments we walk into a room and the other's heart stops beating for just a second.

...is defined by the two children we call ours and by the journey of love we took together to bring them into this world.

...is defined by a night spent in the hot tub, sharing wine and promises that endure today.

...is defined by the forgiveness we afford each other for the petty mistakes and the routine annoyance.

...is defined by the comfort of our entwined hands each night as we fall asleep.

...is defined by the shared vision of our future.

...is defined by the most basic truth that there is nobody else who could love us like we love each other.

...is defined by every moment when we choose to stay instead of run.

...is defined by a committement so deep that we would literally move heaven and earth to honor it.

...it is NOT defined by gender.

Beautiful and well said. If everyone could have what the two of you have found in each other the world would be a happier, healthier, more beautiful place.
