"The sum which two married people owe to one another defies calculation. It is an infinite debt, which can only be discharged through eternity." ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If this quote is true, [and I think it is], then I have incurred an enormous debt. Mark is thoughtful, funny, patient, bright, hard-working, spiritually in tune, cute, and there is no one who loves his family more than he does. We will be celebrating a big anniversary this year [not till December - -but it's coming!] and as I think back over the years we've shared, I realize that the debt I owe does defy calculation.
He has enriched my life in so many ways, and has made my life more fun, more exciting, and more secure. As we have moved across the country and back, I have learned things I could learn no other way. Having grown up in one house and one small town, moving was foreign to me until we were married. Then it became a way of life, a new adventure. But even when I was nervous about it, I always had Mark with me and as time passed, our family as well.
How lucky [blessed, really] I am. And how thankful I am that I do have an eternity to repay the debt that I owe.
