What Love Looks Like When It Is Real
As time passed, I realized something else.
Love, when it is rooted in truth, becomes quieter but stronger. There is less drama, less anxiety, less need for validation. What replaces it is steadiness.
I did not feel like I was missing something.
I felt like I had finally found something solid.
Steve stopped apologizing for who he was. I stopped bracing for disappointment. Together, we created a version of marriage that fit us, not a template handed down by others.
And that made all the difference.
