week 5 page - alliances

I really enjoyed doing this page. For me, my biggest alliance is with my husband. I am so lucky to be married to the most incredible man in the world. We have a wonderful strong marriage. We’ve always seen each other true partners in life and that together we are a team. We got married just before I turned 21 (he was 22) and we knew that the odds were probably stacked against us. I’m sure the statics show a high rate of divorce among people who get married at such a young age. At that young age, you are unsure of so many things in life, but the one thing we both knew for sure is that we wanted to build a life together. Most people thought we were getting married because we “had” to (which was not the case). They couldn’t understand that how at such a young age we KNEW we were meant to be together. We knew that other people thought we wouldn’t last, but we honestly did not care. So here we are almost 12 years later and we are stronger than ever. We have had our ups and downs and faced lots of obstacles and challenges along the way. But the one thing that has never changed is the feeling that together we are a team. It sounds cliche but we do honestly believe that together we can do anything!
