Five years ago I married someone who I become more grateful every day to call my partner. He and I have begun several new "life phases" together, and he has been my security, my best friend, a place to be held when lonely, a place to express my unedited joy and anger. He has been, and is, home for me when I don't feel home.
He has taught me to stop, slow down, and savor life more, which has in turn fed me daily, and informed my practice of Sabbath. I am exited about where our summer will lead us, and grateful to have someone who seeks to be so intentional about our life decisions by my side.
