When I see young couples on their
wedding day staring at each other and
swearing they've never been more in love,
I want to pull them aside and say, "Just
you wait."
There have been moments in my
relationship with my husband where I
have fallen in love with him all over
again. All those butterflies come
fluttering back, and I'm suddenly a
twitterpated teenager with googly eyes
and cartoon hearts floating above my
head. The first time I was blindsided by
love, Cody was in the basement playing
bears with our three-year-old nephew, he
smiled up the stairs at me and continued
roaring and pawing his way around the
basement like a little kid. Swoon! And
just last week I woke up to him bathing
our two little squealing girls in the tub.
As he came out of the bathroom holding a
freshly bathed, towel-wrapped toddler, I
gave him a look that said "That right
there is better than a cocktail, baby."
It seems that what's really swoon-worthy
is when our partners do something totally
out of character. When I asked my friends
for photos that illustrated these
moments, they all knew exactly what I
was talking about!
These little moments of vulnerability are
the ones I cherish most in my own
relationship. May we all have the
privilege of being knocked breathless in
love every once in awhile by our lovers.
