Marriage is Not Beautiful by Anonymous

Marriage is ugly, you see the absolute worst in someone. You see them when they’re mad, sad, being stubborn, when they’re so unloveable they make you scream.

But you also get to see them when they are laughing so hard that tears run down their face and they can’t help but let out those weird gargling noises. You see them at 3am when the world is asleep except for you two and you’re eating a revolutionary sandwich on the kitchen floor.

You get to see a side of them that no one else does and it's not always pretty. It’s snorting while laughing, it’s tears when it feels like its all crashing down, it’s the farting, bed head and bad breath, it’s the random dances, it’s the anger and the joy.

Marriage isn’t a beautiful thing, but it's amazing. It's knowing that someone loves you so much and won't leave you even though you said something nasty. It's having someone have your back no matter what. It’s fights over stupid things, like someone doing the dishes or not picking up after themselves. And it's those nights you fall asleep in each other's arms feeling like there will never be enough time with them.

It’s the hardest most rewarding job there is. Because at the end of the day you get to crawl into bed with your best friend, the weirdest, most annoying, loving, goofy, perfect person you know.

Marriage is not beautiful but the journey is unbelievable craic.
