I was driving up to the resort for the retreat and heard the song "Ours" by Taylor Swift. I have heard it before but never really paid attention to the lyrics until today. The lyrics made me smile as I realized that it said a lot that was similar to my husband and me. It feels like there are always people who want us to fail. There are those that think we shouldn't want to be around each other as much as we do. That it isn't normal for a married couple who has been married almost 8 years to still want to spend every moment together. There are those who try to start fights between us. To those people, I hope they listen to this song. This love is OURS. No one else is a part of this marriage but us and we are pretty happy in it.
The chorus of the song....
So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours
I am not saying this to everyone. Ian and I have a lot of supporters, but also have some who seem to want to start issues. This song reminded me of that and reminded me of what I always say. This love is ours. We make decisions together, we support each other, and we give each other a break when needed. Neither one of us is perfect, neither is our marriage, but we are perfect for each other.
Funniest part of the night though, I was eating dinner tonight, alone. As I was sitting there, Ian called on Skype and I sat there talking to him on my phone while I was waiting for my dinner to come. I joked with Ian about the fact that I am having dinner with him again. It was like a date night and actually a little fun. It was nice to sit there and actually talk to someone instead of just eating by myself.
One day down, one day closer to being able to have a real date night with my husband.
