She Loves Me, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.

This morning my wife, Stephanie, told me, "I love you with a heart-stopping love. I mean I literally want to stop your heart sometimes." Even though it was a sentiment that stopped just short of giving me the warm fuzzies, I realized how much that statement really sums up marriage. Marriage isn't easy. When you live with someone and spend so much time with them, the little idiosyncrasies that make up their personality can drive you crazy. I've heard it said that love is a choice, not a feeling and the older I get, the more I understand how true that is. God has blessed me with a beautiful, loving, caring wife and I choose to love her and put myself aside for her. And maybe, just maybe, she'll let me live.
