Mark 10:6-9 says, " But from the beginning of the creation, God ‘made them male and female.’[a] 7 ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, 8 and the two shall become one flesh’; [b] so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
Shaun and I became one flesh on April 28, 2012 and he knew exactly what he was getting into. I was diagnosed with Raynauds in February 2012 and he knew things would be difficult. Neither of us knew what would happen later that year but I knew he wasn't going anywhere. I know everyone thinks their husband is the best but no one will ever truly know what Shaun has done and sacrificed for me. He truly is the best husband. He was in Oklahoma the day I went into the hospital and came flying home when he heard about it (thanks David!).
There is a country song called "If I Didn't Have You" and one verse says "This life would kill me if I didn't have you. I couldn't live without you baby I wouldn't want to" This life would not literally kill me but Shaun makes it so much easier. I can't imagine my life without Shaun and I know that my worst times are when he loves me the most. I know him like the back of my hand and he knows me as well. When you are dating someone, you think you know what love is. Love is always present during the "better" times, but true love shows when the "worse" comes along. Shaun and I have already been through better and worse and this is only the first year. If the first year is really the hardest, then I think Shaun and I have it made.
