Question # 17 - LAST ONE!


This is it folks - the last of my Questions of Reflection. I hope you enjoyed them - I hope they helped you answer questions about your own life as they did mine.
I thought it only appropriate to answer this last question - which is about *love*
on Valentines Day. How very festive of me :)
Enjoy!

Question #17 How do I want to love and be loved? What is my definition of a wonderful marriage, partnership, or love affair? How close have I come to finding that relationship? What is left for me to know or do in order to attract the love I want?

I want to be loved - period, but more precisely, I want to (need to) be appreciated and needed. I want to be the rock you lean on when things are tough and I want to be held like a baby and rocked to sleep when I need support. I want and give trust, honesty, respect, understanding - but most of all - fun.
I'm not a very serious person and if something is not enjoyable - then I don't want to have anything to do with it.
That goes for all relationships, too. Friendships, acquaintances, co-workers, etc...
Who would want to spend their days in boredom, stress or anger?
Trav and I have the same sense of humor - we can just look at each other and start giggling. Trav is seriously hilarious! He makes me laugh - huge belly laughs - all the time. Whether it's belting out Aladdin's "A Whole New World" in the car or walking around the house in just his boxers, socks and Chuck Taylors. He's the best :)
I give the same in return - if there is one thing I am great at - it's making people laugh. I'm as goofy as they come - literally.
I love what we have together.

A wonderful marriage, in my opinion, is one where happiness is abundant and love is so present that it need not be expressed in words or gestures - because you can just see it and feel it.
Friendship is a priority in a good Marriage, my Husband is my best friend, he is my favorite fellow movie buff, dinner companion, and the best at just hanging out with me. I swear we can read each other's minds! I can't tell you how many times a day we say - "I was just thinking that.", "You read my mind." or "I was just going to say that."
I love that we know each other so well and that we love just being together.
Marriage is also a partnership. You are a team building a life together. That's why your spouse means so much to you and the love never stops - because you are still there for each other and your get to live the life you built - together. You experience all the milestones - together. Children, Careers, Family, Hardships, Houses etc...It means so much more when you get to celebrate the good things together and so much more helpful when you know there is always that someone helping you through and supporting you during the hard times. It's the little things AND the big things. It's all wonderful when you have someone there holding your hand, looking at you and simply saying "I know."
