Everyone preceives marriage in different ways. Some feel they need that piece of paper. Some see it has being equals. Some use marriage to find the easy way out of a rough life.

For me I married my best friend, my soulmate who I dated for three years, and like some best friends we go through periods of arguing, having disagreements.

I moved to Saint Lucia at the hopes of not just marrying my best friend, but to start all over again somewhere new. I was born in Ohio yes, but I never truly felt at home here.

I married my best friend on September 21, 2021 at the worse part of COVD-19 hit not just the United States but all over the world.

I am a virgo which is earth, and my husband is an Ares which is fire. The funny thing is in a lot of ways we are a lot alike. And in many ways we aren't.

Now I know one thing at least how I see it in the eyes of an author a Virgo is of the the Greek Goddess Aphrodite the goddess of Love, and Ares well the God of War. What no one knows is the goddess of love and the god of war maybe siblings but they are also lovers. Both opposite in many ways but one thing in common they have a furious passion for each other. A deep profound love that is unlike any other of the Greek deities.

The Greek lovers balance each other out, being the anchor of each other. I did research on this so I know.

That's how my husband and I are, only we know each other. We mesh, we are best friends first right in the mix is our marriage as husband and wife.

But as we all know in a marriage there are ups and downs sometimes.

😃Writers commentary: And I can tell you right now my new niche for this year is going to be two. The first is writing about relationship subtext, young married life. And two my life as a new citizen in Saint Lucia. With a Duel Citizenship.😃

My husband has this phrase he always uses, "Happy wife, happy life." I just don't share with him the second part of that. "Happy hubby, happy life."

No one will ever realise that I secretly try to make him happy. He is a lot like me he will always try to make someone else happy instead of putting himself first. Instead, that's what I do try to show him that I want to try to make him happy.

With being in the states on business, and filing for my husband I've truly missed him a lot.

I am nervous about sharing my feelings it's never easy when you had not the best late childhood. We were brought up as far as values go in simplar ways. So sometimes that can be difficult, but also able to work through nevertheless.

I feel like when it comes to marriage especially with mine we are each other's anchors. When times get rough we lean on each other for support. As a married couple should.

To me I feel like I live a romance novel only it's reality. And I think it can happy to anyone. Just don't settle for less, and love finds you when you least expect it.

When I wrote this poem it was outta fear of abandonment, scared that my worse fear came true. I don't even think my husband even read it.

As an author myself, I write poetry that defines my personality and emotions when I don't know how to define. For me, a lot of people say lately that I'm a huge pill to swallow because I have a positive, furious vibe, take no prisoners feeling, with determination to never give up. I am a hopeless romantic, and my worse fear is what if my feeling are just one sided? What if I get hurt again?

My husband and I think a lot alike. We love hard for each other, intense loving passion towards one another. We are both artists, both running a business, and both a very loving towards one another. But we have one fear in common, the fear of hoping up because all of our lives the people who raised us towards us feelings are weakness and to never share them. I don't know if anyone can relate to this?

I think that feelings can be strength not weakness. But it took me a long time to learn this. I just don't want my husband to learn this to late. So, with that said, my advice to all the young married couples just starting their lives together. You married your best friend first, talk to your significant other like you are best friends who don't hide anything from each other.

In conclusion, I will be clinging to this niche for one year, and travelling sharing my experiences on the road in my blog, and my YouTube Channel. You can find that in my bio on my vocal profile. Please leave a tip as I am a starving artist and we all need an incentive for ourselves as wordsmiths.
