When people say, “Your husband stood by you,” I ask — isn’t that what marriage is about?
Why should support be seen as special when it’s supposed to be normal?
Marriage is partnership — through good, bad, and ugly moments.
It’s not about perfection. It’s about unity.
We don’t praise the sun for rising; it’s what it’s meant to do.
So, when my husband stood by me, it wasn’t a miracle.
It was love being what love should be.
That’s how it should work — both people standing for each other, even when life gets messy.
You walk into marriage as a team.
When things go wrong, you don’t jump ship — you fix it together.
That’s real strength. That’s real love.
