marriage is...

... screaming from a bad dream, and having someone there to quiet your fears and hold you close throughout the night.
... not going on a roadtrip with a friend because you cannot bear the thought of hubby being home alone (even if he says he's okay with it). He needs you, he just does not know it yet.
... worrying about things in the future, and having someone there to tell you that everything will be alright.
... having someone to tell you what you're missing on TV when you're too A.D.D. to watch it.
... having someone to cook lunch for, who would even pretend that he likes it.
... having someone to suspect you that you're stacking his papers everywhere that he cannot find them anymore. Well, maybe.
... worrying that worms are infesting the petunia plants, and having someone to check them out and find that those are real worms. And not just dried flowers. And that wow, you can actually tell the difference! Validation is always a great feeling.

There you have it. After the first 10 days of marriage, there's my offhand review.
