"Lovers should guard their strangeness." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
I've been able to spend three going on four uninterrupted days with Joseph and not once have I thought to myself, "I sure could use some space or time to myself." I never feel that way when I'm with him and when I express this to family or friends and some respond, "oh its just because you're a newly wed," I am offended to the core and I feel sorry for them.
My relationship with my husband is special. The definition of special: Distinguished by some unusual quality; especially: being in some way superior, designed for a particular purpose or occasion. I'd like to think Joseph was designed specifically for me and I him. I believe everyone ought to feel this way about their spouse and/or relationship. The happiness I feel in my marriage seems almost strange and out of the ordinary now days. Media commonly shows marriage as an annoyance for women and a trap for men. And so I will guard this strangeness because within this strangeness I am most happy.

I totally get that! Vic is my ying to my yang, and at times my 90% to my 10%. And the best part of my day is going to bed with him. Now, I don't mean it in that "eye rolling" way, but we have more of a slumber party atmosphere. We do most of our laughing, and debating while looking at each other w our heads on the pillow. It is soo freakin' cool that he is my absolute best friend AND I get make out w him! I'm so GLAD that Joseph has some one as nice as u to share his life with! We really enjoyed his company here i S.A. and I miss him terribly! Do u mind if I friend u on FB?
