Love lasts Forever!

I don't know if you know this about me, but one of my biggest fears was getting married.  Growing up, I saw a lot of failed marriages.  I saw people who once loved each other turn on each other with hatred. I have seen people yell and scream horrible things at each other. I have (sadly) even seen people turn violent. I decided when I was younger, that I would never settle and that I would totally be fine never marrying someone.  I have seen enough broken hearts and loss in my life.  Then I met Jordan!!
Now our love wasn't at first sight.  It was far from that for me.  Jordan definitely fell for me faster than I fell for him.  I needed that though because I wanted to make sure that I was actually in love and that it wasn't infatuation.  I found myself telling Jordan everything about my life, the good and the bad.  I found myself missing him the moment that we were apart.  I found myself getting nervous that Jordan would find someone better and leave me.  I found myself in love!
Our marriage has not been without trials, but we haven't ever had a huge fight.  This is because we try to see each other's perspectives.  We also communicate with each other.  We try to not be selfish and put each other in front of our own needs; Jordan does this way better than me!!
Anyway, I just found out a week ago that my best friend is divorcing her husband.  They have been married for 10 years (I think).  It has been so hard for me this week to have this in my life again.  I know that it is the best for them, but it is sad to hear about the things that my friend has gone through. It is sad that someone she once loved and he once loved her has put her through this!  Now she isn't necessarily innocent in all of this, but it is so sad to see.  I don't get how people can fall out of love with each other.
I am so grateful for Jordan.  I am grateful that I don't have to worry about divorce.  I know that we will ALWAYS be there for each other and for our kids.  He is a great father and an amazing husband.  I hope one day that I can make him feel like the way he makes me feel.  I love him and this love WILL last forever!!!!
