Borrowing from a friend's FB page, and appropriate for my husband's birthday (today):
“I didn't marry you because you were perfect. I didn't even marry you because I loved you. I married you because you gave me a promise. That promise made up for your faults. And the promise I gave you made up for mine. Two imperfect people got married and it was the promise that made the marriage. And when our children were growing up, it wasn't a house that protected them; and it wasn't our love that protected them--it was that promise.”
― Thornton Wilder, The Skin of Our Teeth
Is that Fr. Gerasim? If so, how neat! :) And happy birthday to your hubs!
ReplyDeleteYes it is! He is our spiritual father and received special permission from the bishop to perform the wedding ceremony (his first!)
DeleteMany years!!! :) and lovely photos!!
ReplyDeleteHi! Just randomly clicked over from Rosie's blog. That is an amazing quote! Now I really want to read that book (or is it a play?) Thank you for sharing. And happy belated birthday to your husband.
