“I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever.” Stevie Wonder wrote this beautiful song and it’s been on repeat for the past few days. It’s the song that I intend to dance with my daughter with during her wedding (she’s only 11 now so it will be a while.)
I believe in love.
This song makes me smile and think about the wedding day. I smile during the vows that a couple makes to each other. It’s at that moment I believe that they will do whatever it takes to be there for each other. It’s at those moments that I look over at the father and mother of the groom and see their smiles as they hold hands. It’s at that moment that I have hope for unconditional love.
You know it when you see it. It’s the father and mother of the bride holding hands. The mother of the bride wrapping her arms around her husband as they dance during their daughter’s wedding. It’s the groom when he sees his bride for the first time in her wedding gown. No matter what life throws them, they love each other truely and unconditionally, and their ability to work through tough times and good times together shines at these moments. It’s beautiful. The laughter, the tears, the smiles. Pure joy and love is what it’s all about.
.” I went for years trying to show my wife (Julie) that I loved her by giving her a hug or telling her how awesome she is. The two love languages that I look for in a relationship are physical touch and words of encouragement, so I figured if I wanted those things then she wanted them too. It rarely seemed to work the way I wanted it to because she would find something that I failed to clean around the house or something that I forgot to take care of. I wasn’t speaking her love language, I was speaking mine.
