Dearest Love of My Life,
Bobbi, we’ve been married for a quarter of a
century. At times, we’ve been each other’s best friend (as well as each other’s
worst enemy). Our life together
hasn’t always been easy with the challenges we’ve faced in our marriage. (Other
couples would have separated over what we’ve been through together.) We’ve thought about giving up on our marriage many a time, but we are aware God brought us
together, and we do love each other. We always have (and will always) be there for each other no matter what.
You would have to admit that our crowning
achievement as a husband and wife is our daughter, Allena. With my “unique”
way of seeing life and your charm, she should go far in life. Our best purchase
was the adoption of our three Chihuahuas. They bring a lot of joy and calmness
into our world, which we need all the time.
We are both very assertive individuals. I
hate fighting over the small stuff we bicker about. It really accomplishes
nothing in the final outcome. I despise us being angry with each other (as many times as we are). We
need to get better at respecting and accepting each other’s differences. Didn’t
we fall in love with each other because of those differences that can now be so
frustrating at times?
We can’t be mini versions of each other. I
married you because of everything you were (and are today). Why would I want a second me? Sometimes I am
not my own best friend. If you keep loving and supporting me there isn’t very
much I can’t accomplish. We can get through anything as long as we stick
together.
Here for You,
Robert
