A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.
-- Germaine Greer
I used this quote in our wedding guestbook. I thought it was sweet, and it went well with the photo I had chosen to use. In my blushing-bride-lovey-dovey-sugary-sweet innocence, I really didn't put much thought into what it meant. I should have. I'm an English teacher, and a woman, I'm required to over-analyze.
But now, after almost a year, I have a little more insight into Greer's words. When I married A, I knew his gentle spirit, his quiet nature, his loving nature and his grace, but since then I've fallen even more in love with his sweet humor, his generosity, his patience (especially his patience) and his devotion to me.
I have fallen in love every day, every hour since June 28, 2008...and I'm lucky he fell, too.
