We met at a time when life wasn’t perfectly planned, but being around each other felt natural right away. What started as simply spending time together slowly grew into friendship, then trust, and eventually a love we both chose to hold onto. We’ve grown a lot side by side. We’ve learned patience, forgiveness, and how to stand together even on the hard days. Through the ordinary nights, long talks, and plenty of laughter, we built a partnership and a home in each other. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 1 Corinthians 13:4–8
