How to Make a Beautiful Life Together

K and I just recently received a wedding gift and the card it came it had a beautiful message that I had to share with you all.  (Oh and nothing like getting money 5 months after the wedding- Yay!)

How to Make a Beautiful Life Together

Reflections on Marriage for the Bride and Groom

Let love be your shelter. 

The world is noisy and confusing at times, 

So make a home that is a haven, a peaceful place where you can

listen to your hearts and savor the comfortable closeness you share. 

No matter how busy your days may be, make time for yourselves.

Hold hands. 

Unwind.

Surprise each other. 

Find little chances every day to show you're grateful to be partners,

to be friends, to be married. 

Life is not perfect.

You will make mistakes, 

but each time you meet life's challenges together, 

you will grow wiser, stronger, and surer of your love. 

Cherish your yesterdays. 

They are irreplaceable souvenirs of your journey through life. 

Make memories that will bring smiles and sighs whenever you look back. 

(Look back often!)

Look forward, too. 

Dream together. Plan together.

Make promises to keep.

Believer in your tomorrows,

because tomorrows are what forever is made of. 

To make love last,  put each other first.

That is the way to make a beautiful life together, 

the kind of life you both deserve so much. 

I totally cried after I read this because it's true.
