Happy belated birthday, Bryan. I love you!

To the greatest guy I know...
I am a little late with this post, but not even a week late, so I think it's ok. Bryan's birthday was March 25, and I could hardly let the opportunity pass without saying something about how glad I am that he was born.
Bryan and I have been married for over 3 1/2 years now, and I find myself having a hard time remembering what life was like without him. Perhaps I have blocked it out because it was so miserable compared to what I have now. Before I was married, I often heard people say how hard the first few years of married life was for them, or how difficult it is to adjust to thinking of someone else before yourself -- basically, I was expecting marriage to be hard work. Drudgery at times, even. But what I have discovered is that for me, marriage isn't hard -- life is hard. The being married part is easy. Being married to Bryan makes life bearable and worth slogging through, and has taught me what it is to experience real joy. I am so grateful to have Bryan in my life. He is the most incredible, loving, intelligent, and talented man I know, and I feel so incredibly blessed to have him.
Happy belated birthday, Bryan. I love you!

This is just exactly how Neal and I felt about marriage -- it didn't make life "easy" but it certainly made it easier. It was hardly an adjustment at all (transition to parenthood -- that's where things got tougher for us). I'm glad you found your just-right mate...and that he didn't end up being intimidated by all your power after all ;)
Amen! I felt the same way about our first year. Was this supposed to be hard or something? It wasn't. It was a blissfully fun sleepover party with my best buddy...and it still is.
