You know what? I frequently think about my bride and my marriage in less than these glowing terms. Maybe I shouldn't, but maybe always being so over-the-top would really be ignoring the real life issues we continue to deal with.
Still, I love her deeply, and try to be really careful how I reflect her - and marriage in general - to the world. She is a treasure to me, and I believe she is God's gift to me, and I to her. I know that our marriage is a manifestation of the love of God, and I give myself over to it daily. And just as God works in us as individuals bit by bit, as we gradually grow into the sons and daughters he dreams for us to be, so is our married life transformed a little at a time into a more perfect reflection of his love for us.
