Today I read a little snip-it on a friend's FaceBook page. It was simple but really hit home with me..."a successful relationship requires falling in love many times, always with the same person. Always with the same person, but deeper and deeper every time. Each time on a whole new level you together open in love and discover the truth of your beloved anew. There is no limit to the beauty of your beloved. If you think you've reached the end, stop generalizing."
I believe that I fall in love with my husband over and over again. And it's not because of the BIG things that he does but often because of the little things.
This past weekend we celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary. A trip to Amish country, shopping and a quick visit to see his grandma, who is in a nursing home. He held my hand and I fell in love again. He drove through a neighborhood of homes that I love and I fell in love again. He shopped with me, I fell in love again. We went to see his grandma and I watched him rub her legs while she told him that her legs weren't getting any better and I realized that I was falling deeper in love with him.
And today, after coming home from my 5:30 a.m. shift, I was greeted with a love letter in the snow. It was a simple expression of hugs and kisses but it meant so much to me and I found myself falling in love with him again.
He is my beloved. I love to laugh with him about "leeps and llamas." I love to cry with him about my insecurities and I really believe that he thinks that I am the most beautiful woman alive.
I love falling in love over and over and over again...

This is so beautiful. I seriously am tearing up. :) I pray that one day God will bring that special one into my life and I will fall in love with her over and over again. Can't wait. Thank you for modeling a godly and healthy marriage. You two are an encouragement and an inspiration.
