Dear Future Husband,
I’d really like for us to stay together forever. I think it’s best to put this intention out there now–before we are married–because truth be told, I like you a lot, and I’d really like you to stick around.
Recently there has been some trouble in relationships of people we know. For me, it’s been very hard to watch people I care about go through a difficult time. I don’t care how many disagreements happen or mean things are said to each other or how much build up leads to a breaking point; choosing to end a long-term relationship or a marriage must be an extremely hard decision. It’s a decision I never want us to be confronted with.
I’m sure most people go into a marriage thinking that it won’t end, but we know that isn’t always the case. Some marriages do end. Sometimes hearts and vows get broken and a relationship disintegrates. I really don’t want that to happen to us. If it hurts me this much to see the people I care about struggle, I don’t want to know how it would feel if we were faced with this decision. All I know is that it could happen, and I am willing to do everything I can to try to make it never happen.
So let’s try hard…really, really hard to work on our relationship, to always give it the attention it deserves. Because, well, I love you, and I want to be with you forever.
Love always,
Your Future Wife
I like this. My husband and I had a similar conversation before we got married. Your post reminded me of that, so I asked him again just now: “Let’s not get divorced, okay?” He seemed to be okay with that. 😉
Aww. Thanks, Akirah. I get that sometimes some relationships DO need to end for various reasons. Ideally, though, I’d like mine not to end… and I’d like it to be good too.
Oh, and I’m very glad your husband is still okay with the pact!
That was a nice decision Akirah..and Erie you have convey your thought in such a genuine way..I appreciate that too..your blog mentioned about your friend’s case try to solve their case too..
Thanks, Caroline. I wish I could help, but it is up to them to do what is best for their relationship. I need to let them make their own choices. Still sad for them, but it is up to them, not me.
