My girls have been watching the Disney "High School Musical" movies available on Netflix. In fact, if I'd let them, I think they'd watch both movies every day! They must get some of their viewing tendencies from their mama, as I watched 7 Brides for 7 Brothers every day for a month when I was younger! ;) If you've never seen the movies, the main theme is the love story between the 2 main characters. I was amused when watching them for the first time about 5 years ago because at the time, I was about 5 years into my marriage. I was marveling at how great the characters thought their love was for each other. I remember telling Shorty at the time that young people think their love is great because they don't KNOW anything more.
So now I'm 5 years farther into my marriage. I was laughing with my sister this past weekend, and I told her that I think Shorty is more into me now than he was when we got married. I know he prefers my company to anyone else's. =) He certainly knows me better & I know him better. We love one another better-- sometimes anyway! ;) And I love the way a friend recently talked to me about loving my husband. "Love is not primarily a feeling. Love is a commitment." Or to quote a song that was popular when I was a bit younger ;) "Love is a verb." So now that I'm quoting...
Now you're my whole life now you're my whole world
I just can't believe the way I feel about you girl
Like a river meets the sea
Stronger than it's ever been
We've come so far since that day
And I thought I loved you then.
I can just see you with a baby on the way
I can just see you when your hair is turning gray
What I can't see is how I'm ever gonna love you more
But I've said that before.
