There's this guy at my work, Kevin, who said something interesting the other day. We were talking about relationships. Now, youhave to understand that he is divorced and somwhat not over it. Anyway, he was talking about how he doesn't know why people get married, let alone stay together. I asked him why he felt that way and he said, "well I just keep thinking, how do they not annoy the crap out of each other?"
That comment has been stuck in my head for the last couple of days. How is it that, after the twitterpated stage, people stay together and don't annoy each other to the point where they just want to get away, and then their relationship crumbles?
Eventually, I figured it out. If you marry your friend-your best friend- with whom you want to do just about everything with, and can talk to about anything, then you will be fine. They will be the person that instead of wanting to avoid, you will think of first and you will want to tell about your day and therefore your life.
For our wedding, Josh and I chose the phrase "On this day, I married my friend" to go on our glasses. I think it is very appropriate. I hope that I can always keep my relationship alive in that sense. I hope that I can always be married to MY best friend, because I think that its that, that I think makes the difference between "can't stand to be around them" and "where are they? I have something to tell them."
