Today is a big day for me and my sweetie. Today we celebrate 28 years of marriage. Yes, the traditional form of marriage, a man and a woman. Not the new buzz type of a marriage contract for members of the same sex.
I don't know what my life would have been like without Tina, but I know that I can't imagine a day without her by me for the rest of my life. She is truly my soulmate and we get better each and every day.
She and I have had numerous challenges in our lives together, everything from how are we gonna eat, to how are we going to pay the rent. The challenges are so much easier when you have someone to work through them with. I have learned so much about myself and had to learn so much about her over these last many years and I am sure there is so much more to learn in the future.
We are only referred to as Barte and Tina, no one knows us without the other. I guess that is a testament to how inseperable we are in all settings.
We did not know each other for long prior to getting married, only a few weeks and it is no matter that there were those that didn't give our marriage a chance at all. We have really spent the last 28 years learning about each other and learning how to be good to each other.
As Bill and Ted say, "Be excellent to each other" and we both really try nearly every day.
