The Petite Philosopher

Thoughtful Style.

Philosophy

Four years.

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” – Lao Tzu

Four years ago my husband and I said “I do” and tied the knot. It seems like just yesterday we were busy planning our wedding and European honeymoon. Though we’ve been together for 15 years (yes, we’re high school sweethearts!) our love still feels fresh, new, and exciting. What’s the secret? He’s more than just my companion or my partner in crime; there’s no one I’d rather spend my time with. We enjoy the same things, whether it’s science fiction, rock music, or watching Twin Peaks. I agree with Friedrich Nietzsche who said, “It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages” for I know first hand that true love is real, and it’s when you’re in love with your best friend.

    This entry is beautiful and it brought “joyous” tears to my eyes when I read it. I went to Grammy’s today and choked up reading it to her. The love you share is “rare”…May your love for one another endure all the ups and downs forever and always. ❤️U both..
