Relationships

"I had made many commitments to make drastic changes to my life before this day, but those empty words often resulted in nothing. I continued living my life the only way that I knew how."

"I stood in a bathroom alone. I placed my hand on my very pregnant belly which housed our two babies, I smiled through puffy eyes and a broken heart, and I snapped a picture. I posted it on Facebook and said, 'Happy St. Patrick’s Day from the 3 of us.' I didn’t know where my husband was..."

I get it. Most men are not wordy creatures. Short and straight to the point is often what they prefer. Which is why some of you men out there desperately need some love quotes for her — to give your girl the words to satisfy, and to better convey your unconditional love for her.

"Let the rest burn. Our home, our cars, our possessions. This love is worth watching everything else fade away."

"You left the other night. You drove off after we fought. And I wanted to break something... I wanted you to go. But I wanted you to stay."

"A lot of people hear the saying 'saving yourself for marriage' and immediately think of abstinence, but that’s not what I’m talking about today. In fact, I’m talking about having sex. Lots of sex. So be warned. If you don’t like to speak about apparently taboo subjects like sex then you’ll want to stop reading right now."

I didn’t want to settle for some sing-songy card that took for granted the blood sweat and tears we have endured in order to be where we are today.
