We started our relationship soon after I left my ex-husband. I was still terrified of any conflict.
I remember one instance where he had made me dinner and was upset because the trout he has making had stuck to the pan. He was a little angry and coming out of the relationship I had been in I retreated to my bedroom. He came to the door apologetically and reminded me he was not violent or the enemy. Dinner was on the table waiting for me.
Well that was over 17 years ago now, and we have been married a little over a year. It has been a rocky road for us.
In this past 7 years we have had so many stressful situations in our lives. With moving several time between 3 different cities, changing jobs, losing jobs, changing schools for our daughter, several deaths of close family and friends and my brush with death because of complications of my Multiple Sclerosis.
I believe last year was the toughest we have ever had together between the frequent stays in the hospital for me months at a time and deciding to marry in the midst of it all we never gave up on each other or the power of the love we had for each other or with family and friends.
Even when I thought I would die those various times I never lost sight of the fact that I had the love of God, family and friends past and present to believe in.
The wedding was perfect with the help of so many family, friends and my beloved there looking so handsome I was in awe. I am so happy that I still believe in true love after one bad experience with marriage.
