Readings About Love And Marriage for a Wedding Ceremony 26 - From This Day Forward

From This Day Forward
Author, Unknown

From this day forward, let us laugh together, and plan together,
let us find our favorite places, and go together...
Let us enjoy the sunshine and the rain, being alone together, and in crowds together… From this day forward, together,
Let us, love! Let Us Walk Together. Let us walk together yet not as one, but such that our shadows are separate and distinct, such that our souls are unbound and free. Let us share our time, yet do not give all your time, nor take all of mine for in order to develop to the fullest, to be free, we must have solitude and individuality.
Let me wander in solitude when I need to be alone, yet be near, when I need you.  Let us share our love. Give freely of your love, but do not smother me, my soul must breathe free air.  Take my love, but do not demand it, for love given of obligation, is stale and without life.  Let us share our lives. Share my life, but do not try to shape it.  Let me share your life, but do not let it revolve around me. 
Let us share ourselves. Accept me as I am, do not attempt to change me to fit your dreams.  Respect me for what I am, not for what I was or one day may be. Share yourself with me, but do not allow me to limit your freedom or bind your soul.  Let us share our minds, thoughts, goals, values, and dreams.  Let us develop these within ourselves without restriction or loss of freedom.Thus our two free souls, may wander together as they develop in freedom. As we share our lives, as we walk thru life together, know my love is yours, but not my soul, for it must be free.
