And I realized that one of the main reasons why my heart has grown so full of love for you is the very idea that you would want to spend your life with me---commitment between us has filled us both with more love than we thought possible. I was thinking today about the simple things that will make life more amazing after we're married--coming home after a hard day at work and seeing your face, melting any stress I had right away; waking up next to you, you being the first person I see every day moves my heart; seeing signs of you all around the house, even when you're not there, like a blanket you leave on the couch that smells like you, or a shirt on the bedroom floor that you forgot to throw in the hamper. I can't wait to just live with you, to have that life with you.
One other thing I realize though, is that I think you're scared of losing your independence and your sense of self. It's almost as if you feel that when two become one, that you'll get lost in that shuffle and your dreams will be secondary. I want to reassure you that I will spend all my life making sure that your dreams come true as well as my own. You are going to be the most happy doing what you are meant to be doing, and I am going to be the most happy when I see that glow on you, that love of life and that spirit within you that just floors me. I will love you and I will not let you get lost in the unity of us. We will be one, and both of our goals and dreams will be on the same list...to be crossed off and achieved with both our strength and energy. I will make your dreams come true as best I can. God does not want us to squander our gifts, and I will never let you squander yours. I trust you to push me to be my best as well. And I know your love now and I know it will grow in Christ, and I cannot wait to see what God will do in our lives.
