I've often thought I have the perfect life. Good job with good money. Beautiful house, 2 beautiful, healthy kids. But it's not perfect. My wife and I have a long way to go to make it perfect. But were committed to each other for the long run and committed to making it work. This blog is about our progress, discussing my thoughts and feelings, dreams and aspirations of our marriage.

Day 10 - Unconditional Love


Love Dare - Day 10
Do something out of the ordinary today for your spouse.
Romans 5:8


The chapter talked about unconditional love. The love for a spouse should be unconditional. It defitely is with us. There were several rocky parts of our marriage where we could have given up and walked away for good. But we have not because how deeply we truly care for one another. I am a little insecure however, so it has been difficult for me to believe that someone could love me unconditionally. A part of me thinks that at some point she will leave and not come back (or kick me out and not let me back). But I think I do recognize that she does love me unconditionally - I just have to realize it.

Our love is unconditional
We knew it from the start
I see it in your eyes
You can feel it from my heart
From here on after
Let's stay the way we are right now
And share all the love and laughter
That a lifetime will allow

Chorus:
I cross my heart
And promise too
Give all I've got to give
To make all your dreams come true
In all the world
You'll never find
A love as true as mine

You will always be the miracle
That makes my life complete
And as long as there's a breath in me
I'll make yours just as sweet
As we look into the future
It's as far as we can see
So let's make each tomorrow
Be the best that it can be

Chorus

And if along the way we find a day
It starts to storm
You've got the promise of my love
To keep you warm

In all the world
You'll never find
A love as true as mine
A love as true as mine


That was one of our wedding songs... I say we had two because this one was sung at our wedding by Sas's mom and her aunt. I really like this song and what it says.


You're my peace of mind
In this crazy world
You're everything I've tried to find
Your love is a pearl
You're my Mona Lisa, you're my rainbow skies
And my only prayer is that you realize
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes

The world will turn
And the seasons will change
And all the lessons we will learn
Will be beautiful and strange
We'll have our fill of tears, our share of sighs
My only prayer is that you realize
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes

You will always be - beautiful in my eyes
And the passing years will show
That you will always grow ever more beautiful in my eyes.

There are lines upon my face
From a lifetime of smiles
When the time comes to embrace
For one long last while
We can laugh about, how time really flies
We won't say goodbye 'cause true love never dies
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes

You will always be - beautiful in my eyes
And the passing years will show
That you will always grow ever more beautiful in my eyes
The passing years will show
That you will always grow ever more beautiful in my eyes

This was our actual wedding song. It is similar in that we will always find beauty in each other, we mean so much to one another. When we hear the song come up on our ipod, we have this thing where we have to dance to it. I used to play it to try to say "I'm sorry, and please forgive me."

I'm not exactly sure what my act will be that shows my unconditional love for her. But I'm thinking about it.
