10-year anniversary

I met you at Albion College, in Theater Arts class. Our first date was the beginning of something great.  Our relationship started with friendship and then blossomed into romance.  This closeness has kept us together, and it will keep us together, forever.  It was easy to be with you.  It still is.

On June 9, 1984, you married me.  During the past ten years, our love and marriage have continued to strengthen.  We have both grown and changed, but we have grown and changed together.

We have stayed together through the emotional roller-coaster of marriage and life.  The highs have been wonderful.  The lows have been devastating.  But through it all, you were there for me, I was there for you. . . and the Lord was there for us both.

You strengthen my weaknesses with love and support.  I dare not ask how . . . even when I turn away.  But I thank God that you do. 

You keep me laughing with your wit and charm and you are very smart in the ways of the world.  You offer advice and are usually right!  I respect your opinions and your judgment.

You are my best friend and I am stronger when we are together then when we are apart.

You are not just somebody’s wife . . . You are my wife, and I love you forever, with all my heart.

David.
