This song reminds me of our first year of marriage. Scary, but sweet. I like that now that that tumultuous newlywed period is over, I can look back with nostalgia on our heated and often explosive lover's quarrels and actually think it was kind of cute how immature, impetuous and naive we actually were.
I love the new article in the Watchtower called "Surviving the First Year of Marriage". The opening argument is between a newlywed husband and wife who are fighting about which dish towel should be used to dry their hands. Austin and I have never fought about dish towels, but we have fought about equally stupid things.
Marrying young is difficult, but if your marriage survives, its kind of cool that you end up growing up together. I don't know why that feels special, but it does. Perhaps its no more special than a bond forged in mid-life between two people who know exactly who they are, but it feels great to me and I'm happy to have it.

You can see the beauty and the things that make your relationship special; keep looking for it and you'll always find the reasons to know it is.
