Last night it really hit me...this time next week I'll be a married woman. In today's society, it seems as if marriage is nothing. As if it holds no value, can be easily dissolved and flitted around. In my opinion, marriage is so much more than just a piece of legal paperwork. Marriage in my eyes is about love, commitment, honor, and friendship. I believe that when someone gets married it should be to someone that they love so much that their heart feels incomplete when that person is not near them. Marriage is a commitment one to another for life, not just for the year or seven. You are pledging to stay with that person in life, sickness, health, when things are amazing and when life really sucks. Marriage is based on honoring the one you are with by faithfulness and commitment. However, I believe that this is all impossible unless the person you are with is your best friend. Friendship is so very important with a marriage in my opinion. There are going to be times when you don't like your spouse, and your spouse doesn't like you much either. There are going to be days when you question why you ever married that person, but at the end of the day one must realize that without that other half, there is no happiness.
I know that me and Shawn will have our differences, difficulties and arguments. I know that there are going to be times that I am going to want to run and hide, cry, and pound my fists in frustration. However, I also know that he is the man I love. He is intelligent, compassionate and loyal to the core. He will never leave me or make me feel inferior. Shawn is the other half of my heart and I cannot wait for our life together!

Your words are so sweet. I'll be getting married in a year or so and loved reading this. I also think your spouse should be your best friend; I remember my youth pastor saying this years ago, and I've thought of it many times since then.
