Marriage should be entered into for the right reasons. I knew I wanted to spend the rest of eternity with my husband, and he knew he wanted to spend it with me. We both decided that we have never been so happy in any relationship before in our entire lives. Everything in our lives seemed so perfect, including our sex lives. We had experienced love before, and it had never seemed so wonderful as when we were with each other. We also trusted each other completely, knowing we had both experienced sex and love before. When we kissed each other, we acknowledged that we tingled all over unlike during any other relationship in our lives. My husband also wanted to be part of my and my children's lives.

We had dated each other for several months and then lived together for several months, and we wanted to show the world that we loved and respected each other and wanted to share the rest of our lives permanently. Both of us feel that we want to work through all of life's difficulties as well as share the wonderful times that will happen in our lives. We feel that life has never seemed to flow as smoothly as it does when we discuss things, make decisions together and have and hold each other closely as much as possible. Some close friends have complained when I've been in a hurry to get back home to my husband because they say I'm already married, "so what's the rush," but I genuinely enjoy sharing every moment that I can with him.

Yesterday we went shopping together and we both gave feedback to each other about articles of clothing that we were choosing, from color to style and whether we liked it or not. After we both gave it careful consideration, we made our choices and bought the clothing. Then we went out to eat lunch together.

We are so careful with each other's feelings. I've never experienced anyone caring as much as he does about my feelings and welfare. Why on Earth wouldn't I want to be married to a man who says he wants to be married to me eternally and whom I want to be married to eternally? Of course, we believe that we'll always touch and kiss each other as passionately as we do now too. When we kiss each other occasionally when we are outside, some people have whistled and or made comments as though they approve. I know I am also physically very attracted to him and find him sexy, and he says he feels the same way about me.

Both of us love to write and read, but although we share many things like these in common, we have some interests that are not the same and feel these make us even more interesting to each other. We also both feel that we want to grow old together and don't feel that someone may come along and steal the other away. We feel we are mature enough to be sure of our relationship. This is the kind of relationship I have always dreamed about. These are all valid reasons to get married.
