All the time people ask me if I'll ever get married again. Well guys, before three years ago I never thought I would get divorced, so who knows?! I have definitely learned the hard way to "never say never." After assessing my past love relationships and history of marriage, boyfriends, failed plans, etc., my thoughts and opinions on that stuff (and the stuff that comes along with it) have drastically changed, as they should have. Only time will tell what the future holds for me, my heart, and any man that may come along and love me forever. Deep breath.
Let's face it: Deep down inside, I remain that hopelessly
romantic little five year old girl that still dreams that one day I will meet
that one guy who God has made just for me <insert all that
mushy, yucky love stuff:...and he will sweep me off of my feet and respect,
care for, and love me for as long as I live>. (Wow… I cannot believe I just
admitted that out loud. What is this world coming to?!) Although I am a lot
more realistic now and fully understand that no love is perfect- or even close
to perfect-, I still hold on to that ounce of optimism that I will find
everlasting happiness in the form of a loving partner that will, in its own
way, perfectly coincide with the happiness I have found in myself, my choices,
and my chosen paths thus far.
So, with that being said, the answer is yes. If the right guy
comes along with similar viewpoints on relationships and who values love and
marriage the same way as I do, then, yes, I would get married again. He would
have to accept my past and support my future. He would have to be that
"missing piece" that I have longed for that will only make me happier
than I am now. Lord knows that he will have to be special: patient, stubborn,
kind, funny, frustrating, loving and forgiving. Above all else, he will have to
unconditionally love himself before he can ever love me in the same way. He must be as happy with life as it is as I
am, and only he and I will understand how much better off we are
in life and love because we are sharing it together. However... if he never comes along, then the answer is no. I will continue through this life as an independent woman who strives to be happy and love myself regardless of who has or hasn’t chosen to be a part of my life. I will continue to be patient and allow God's plan to play out as only He has written. I will continue to love, respect, and be kind to myself and others. Above all else, I will live and love with every ounce of my being, opening up my heart and my dreams to the world.
It's a win-win, really.
