108 | Reflections on Love

 

I was never one to dream about being a bride or planning a wedding—perhaps I was too busy navigating my life as a trauma hider. However, I did know a few things: I knew who I wanted to be in love, and knew with whom I wanted to be in love. I wanted to be real, honest, vulnerable, and raw, and I wanted my person to be with all of me, even if I didn’t want to deal with all of me. I married the guy who stayed, and not just because he could deal with all of me; he showed up sweetly, tenderly, as a human who felt like home, and continues to 32 years later.

In this episode, I reflect on love as we celebrate the 32nd anniversary of our beautiful wedding. I also discuss the kind of person I wanted to be—and be with—in love, describe our wedding at our family home, and share the most gracious statement my mother has made about me.

 “To love each other has been the easiest and most difficult part of being married: each day is a recommitment to love.” - Karen Goldfinger Baker
