Somehow, the universe seems to indicate that we've come a full cycle.
And I believe we have. Done with childbearing and foundation setting years, it seems to be time to start building our legacy.
It feels, in a lot of ways, that we have grown by leaps and bounds in these 12 years together. We've stood by each other through sickness and health, for richer and poorer, for better and for worse - and through this journey I have realised, that God indeed has plans for our lives and the reward for trusting Him with our will cannot be quantified. I also realised that there is no way I could have found someone so perfectly made for me if I had looked for him myself. It's only by surrendering to God, that He revealed His plans for me.
Marriage is like a plate of Briyani, say the Kandasamys; and I couldn't agree more. We've bit into our fair share of cardamoms, but it's an enjoyable dish, paired with sambar for him and pickled vegetables for me.
We've shifted house 6 times, across 3 states, taken care of an elderly parent, have 3 kids - but the one constant is we remained best friends; always putting each other second only to God.
Has the glow of newly wedded bliss worn off? I think that's a load of crap. Getting adjusted to a new person and living with them is NOT EASY. The good news is, it gets better with time. After 12 years, I can honestly say its seamless. I know he loves me, I've seen him take care of me, and if the years ahead are even more turbulent (as they usually are), I have faith that the One who brought us together, will see us through.
My Partner, My Love, My Friend.... this one's for you.
