We met at a club in New Jersey named "Paradise". From the moment we lay eyes on to each other we have been together ever since... We have had our ups and downs, but through it all there is one thing for certain, is that "our love" has grown and has remained steadfast over the years to survive our trials and flourish as a couple and as human beings. As I reflect on all the various shapes that love and marriage take on through the years, from the initial giddy days, to the wedding day, to the early days and years of marriage, family life and having children, to being married for close to 23 years now and being empty nesters and grandparents, and now entering into the golden years of growing old together, I am struck with awe by the beauty of it all. Each stage has its own joys, its own challenges, and its potential to grow to become what God truly intended love to be.
