Christian

This is Christian.
He is good at lots of things.
He's really good at making me laugh, cry, think, and other things I shouldn't publish on the web.
I love this man. He's been my best friend and love of my life for over 8 years (9 years in April is when we met).
Sometimes he's not good at picking out movies.
The other night was no exception.
He picked out TWO awful movies.
We watched one together. He suffered through the other on his own at work, Thanks Be to God!
The one we watched was Paris, je t'aime.
The only, and I'm not exaggerating one bit, good line I pulled from it was this scene where this couple met up in a restaurant where the husband was about to tell his wife he was leaving her for another woman when she pulled out a diagnosis of a terminal illness. He immediately abandoned his intentions and "rose to the occassion." He abandoned his mistress and took care of his dying wife. One line from it was this:

"He began acting like a man in love and soon he was a man in love."

We both looked at each other and said, "The Next Good Thing."
But I thought about it more and more and thought, "Man, that's a wise piece of advice for marriage. Act like you're in love, even when you're not, and soon those flutters will return.
We've been married awhile now. I think we can say that we've shared our ups and downs. Although, thankfully, we've never experienced infidelity, we've also had our share of problems. One of the things I love and appreciate most about this man is that he randomly "dates" me all over again. And when he does I'm hit with flutters. I've never really ever lost my flutters for him. In fact, I love him more today than I did when I married him 7 years, 3 months, and 16 days ago. In fact, I couldn't imagine loving him any more than I do today, but history has shown that's just not possible. My heart continues to enlarge to make room for my undying devotion and adoration, and lovey-dovey-wovey feelings every day.

I love you Christian. I didn't know love before I met you. I am so thankful for you.
