Share yours

My boyfriend proposed to me not long ago. He gave me a ring, but he didn’t know my size. When I asked him how he had chosen it, he said he imagined my hand in his and tried to remember how it felt — and the ring fit perfectly.

I’ve been married for eight years, and of course we have fights sometimes. But a few days ago I was checking our documents from the bank and I saw that the secret word he had chosen for the security question was the pet name he gave me years ago.

My husband often talks in his sleep, and last night he suddenly opened his eyes, stared at me, and said, ’’You’re the most beautiful woman in the world — remember that.’’

I realized my marriage was the right choice when my husband and I both became ill. Despite his own high fever and the cold outside, he still went to the drug store, made a hot broth for me, and swaddled me in blankets. No presents could have done more to show me that he loved me.

We’ve been married for several years, and once I decided to reinvigorate things by preparing a romantic dinner. I didn’t say anything, just went to the local store and bought some champagne, fruit, and candles. When I got back home, I saw that he’d had the same idea

Every night, my husband reads our daughter a bedtime story, then she calls me, and we hug each other tightly. All the bad feelings we might have had before just go away afterwards.

My husband recently told me about a conversation he had with a friend of his who had problems with his girlfriend. My husband’s advice was to stop thinking about breaking up, and the reason for the quarrel would not feel like a reason anymore. He said that when you want to share your life with someone, many things become too small to bother getting worried about. That’s what you might call the secret of family happiness.

When I found out that I couldn’t have children of my own, I ran back home and locked myself in the bathroom to cry. My boyfriend was at work, so I left the papers with the test results on the dresser and forgot about them. I came back to reality when I heard him come in — he unexpectedly came home early, knocked gently on the door, and said, ’’Sweety, we’ll get through it together, I love you.’’ Some time later we got married and adopted a child, and in a year I got pregnant myself. This is what true love does!
