What Love Means to Me
I define love as the moment when you realise you would willingly give up your life for someone else.
I've told my wife this many times but I'm not sure she fully believes me.
It goes without saying that if she was in the middle of a road and a car was about to hit her I'd jump in the way, if she found herself in a burning building I would go in to save her without a second thought.
I'd sacrifice myself for her a million times over.
I have been extremely lucky to fall in love once, and I fully intend never to fall out.
She has a powerful effect on me, some might call it a spell, but just the look on her face can make me melt - which might explain why the ratio of tea making in our house is currently 77 to 1, unfortunately in my favour.
I worry about her when she drives in bad weather, I worry when she goes to work when she is feeling awful and I worry when she has to walk the 50 yards to her car in the dark part of town.
But most of all I worry about how she thinks about herself.
She won't know this until she reads it but I have a real pang in my heart when I see anyone feeling bad about themselves or lacking in self confidence - which is why I abhor bullying and all the nasty effects it has on the recipient.
Back to my wife, she has the bravado of a bull fighter and the confidence of a penalty taker facing a goalkeeper with no arms but I still worry for times when she may doubt herself and I only wish I could be on her shoulder and whisper all the great things she has done and the amazing things she will accomplish in the future.
She is incredibly special and the world is a much better place with her in it.
Last year I married my girlfriend of over six years and at that moment realised more than ever that I was now part of a great tag team, built on trust, forgiveness, understanding, unselfishness and a smile in the morning.
I am very open and humble in my thinking, I often ask myself why did she choose me? Well to be honest, the world can see she is much better looking than me BUT I like to think that I offer something in return.
That being the promise that I will take care of her until the day I die (and she will outlive me, no doubt about it), I will always respect her and most importantly try and make her life richer and happier every single day.
If you're reading this and thinking 'this is nothing new', you're absolutely right! Love is phenomenal and as human beings we are lucky to find it in many guises.
My simple motivation for writing this is to let other people know I appreciate everything love gives me and ultimately love gave me her.
Quite plainly for all that I am, I am nothing without her.
