14th Wedding Anniversary

I found this quote yesterday from one of my favorite books, Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte: 

"I have now been married ten years. I know what it is to live entirely for and with what I love best on earth. I hold myself supremely blest — blest beyond what language can express; because I am my husband's life as fully as he is mine. No woman was ever nearer to her mate than I am: ever more absolutely bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. I know no weariness of my Edward's society: he knows none of mine, any more than we each do of the pulsation of the heart that beats in our separate bosoms; consequently, we are ever together. To be together is for us to be at once as free as in solitude, as gay as in company. We talk, I believe, all day long: to talk to each other is but a more animated and an audible thinking. All my confidence is bestowed on him, all his confidence is devoted to me; we are precisely suited in character — perfect concord is the result."

This sums up all of my feelings towards my husband and what marriage should be.  I can't imagine being without him.  I look forward to the future with excitement and anticipation. 

I may just need to pick up Jane Eyre and read it again soon...
