It takes someone special...

...to know and love you so completely that he/she:

• voices your exact thoughts before you do. 
• understands your mind and thinking so fluently to accurately predict your next thought, statement, or action. 
• can give you an honest and direct reality check in such a way that it doesn't hurt your feelings, but instead makes you immensely grateful that you're hearing what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. 
• loves you no matter how your quirks might irritate him/her. 
• pushes you to be a better you, if you're the type with a tendency to be dependent on others' help due to a lack of self-confidence.
• celebrates all your virtues, and accepts all your flaws. 
• knows just what to say or do to make you feel better. 
• with just one gesture or statement, can instantly fill you with joy and peace. 
• sees you for who you really are, and loves it all unconditionally. 
• knows how to explain anything to you better than anyone else can. 
• can make you laugh at yourself without ever hurting your feelings. 

The law and our church believe we are strangers to each other. My mind, heart, and soul confirm he is my husband.
