Sutherland and I fell in love against all odds. When I asked him for his number the first time he told me no. Then he was being stubborn and took forever to ask me out. I went to college, he went into the Navy. Most of our time as a couple has been spent apart. But amidst the hardships and trials, we fell in love and he proposed. (I actually spoiled the original proposal plan by getting sick, but it fits our story). We continue to choose each other every day because of our abounding love for one another.

Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
