Sunshine and rain

I am Paul's sunshine, and he is my rain. And together we bring forth the spirit of our marriage, the beauty of our togetherness, which is our rainbow.

While an analogy like this could quite easily refer to children, this one represents the more intangible products of our love and commitment to each other (time, and the observation of those outside our relationship, will reveal what those products are. I don't know how clearly the sun or the rain can perceive the rainbow they create). Together, we are more than the bare sum of our individual personalities and skills - we create something new, just like the rain and the sun together produce a rainbow. Both are wonderful on their own; both are needed on their own. But together, they make something which is also wonderful, and which brings joy to the heart and beauty to the world.

My hope is that Paul and I, through our marriage, can also bring wonder and beauty to the world around us.
