Marriage isn't beautiful, you see the absolute worst in someone. You see them when they are mad, sad, being stubborn, and when they are so unlovable, they make you want to scream.
But you also get to see them when they are laughing so hard that tears run down their face, or they are laughing so hard snort, or can't breathe.
You get to see them at 3am when the rest of the world is asleep except the 2 of you, and your eating in the middle of the bed and watching t.v.
You get to see the side of them that no one else does, and it's not always pretty. It's snorting while laughing, tears when it feels like it's all crashing down, it's the farting, the morning bed head and bad breath, joy and anger.
Marriage isn't beautiful, but it's amazing. It's knowing that someone loves you so much, they won't leave even if you say something nasty. It's knowing someone has your back no matter what. It's the fights over stupid things like someone not doing the dishes or picking up after themselves. It's holding a cold wash cloth on their forehead or rubbing their back when they are sick.
Then it's the random dances you have with each other even when there's no music playing. And it's the nights you fall asleep in each other's arms, feeling like there's never gonna be enough time with them. It's the dirtiest, hardest, and most rewarding job that there is.
Because at the end of the day, you get to crawl into bed with your goofy, loving, weirdest, and most annoying PERFECT person that you know.
No, marriage isn't beautiful, but it's an amazing ride.
Maybe one day I can find someone who I can share all these moments with.
