30 Song Post Challenge- #23: A Song That You Want To Play at Your Wedding: "Come Rain or Come Shine" as recorded in 1959 by Ray Charles, originally written by Arlen and Mercer for the musical St Louis Woman
I'm gonna love you, like no one loves you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
You gonna love me, like no one love me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
Wouldn't it be fine
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we are out of the money, yeah
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
You gonna love me, like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
Wouldn't it be fine
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we are out of the money, yeah
I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
Marriage is not easy. It is a choice, and it is work. But it is magical. Every disagreement leads to a leveling up of sorts. You get to a point where you know each other more than anyone else ever could. When you have truly seen the ugliest side of each other, the most vulnerable, and the goodness of each other's hearts, there is no going back to to the casual bullshit that we call relationships. I hear people say all of the time that marriage is just a piece of paper. But I know what he and I were before the rings and I know us after, and the difference is palpable. Because we believe in our marriage.
There always needs to be 100% in a marriage, but the trick of it is that it is very rarely a 50/50 split. and that's okay, but each party needs to be honest about what they have to offer at a give time. If I am going through hell, maybe my husband needs to know that I only have 30% to give, and he agrees to make up the difference until I can balance out. When the tables are turned, I do the same for him. We fill in the gaps to be sure that our marriage is at capacity. If I look back at the times that we were in trouble, I can see that we were not covering each other, we were too busy thinking that individually we had given enough. But marriage means that you put the team first. And that is beautiful.
I'm gonna love him, like no one has loved him. happy together, unhappy together, cloudy or sunny, for better or worse, he is mine, and I am his.
Thank God.
