Our 5 Year Anniversary
No greater blessing can come to your married life than pure conjugal love, loyal and true to the end. May, then, this love with which you join your hands and hearts today, never fail, but grow deeper and stronger as the years go on. And if true love and the unselfish spirit of perfect sacrifice guide your every action, you can expect the greatest measure of earthly happiness that may be allotted to man in this vale of tears.
-from the ‘Exhortation to Couples’ from the 1964 Roman rite of Catholic marriage
Dear beloved husband. Thank you for the best 5 years of my life. Thank for loving God first and me second. For our 4 children. For the laughs and the tears. For the helping me grow to be a better daughter of God. For being my hero, my knight in shining armor. For being a man of integrity, perservierence and deep prayer. For knowing how to fix EVERYTHING (even it if means staying up until 2:30 in the morning trying to find out what’s wrong with the clothes drier). And for giving me the greatest measure of earthly happiness…I love you.
