Before I met Christa, I thought love was mostly about grand gestures—big, sweeping, rom-com-worthy moments that involved running through airports or standing outside windows with a boombox. Turns out, love is a lot less about dramatic declarations and a lot more about who remembers to pack snacks for a road trip (it’s her) and who somehow forgets their wallet every time we get ice cream (also me).

Love, as I’ve learned from Christa, is found in the little things. It’s in the way she instinctively knows when I’ve had a long day and hands me an energy drink before I even ask. It’s in her ability to juggle a million things at once—work, parenting, being my personal life coach—and still manage to laugh at my worst dad jokes. It’s in the way she pushes me to be a better version of myself, not by demanding it, but by believing I can be.

Patience: The Virtue I Never Knew I Needed

I am not what one might call a naturally patient man. If I order something online and it takes more than two days to arrive, I start questioning my life choices. Christa has taught me that love is about understanding, about giving space when needed and offering support without rushing the process. She’s shown me that not every problem needs an immediate solution—sometimes, you just need to sit with it (which, to be honest, is a terrifying concept for me).

Kindness: Love’s Secret Ingredient

Christa’s kindness isn’t loud or showy—it’s woven into her everyday actions. It’s in the way she cares for our family, in the way she puts others before herself without a second thought. She has this incredible way of making people feel seen, valued, and important, and being around that kind of energy has made me want to be better at it myself.

She’s also exceptionally kind in how she pretends not to notice when I eat the last cookie she was saving for herself. That level of restraint is truly inspiring.

The True Meaning of Partnership

I used to think love was about keeping score—who did what, who said sorry first, who made the bigger sacrifice. But being with Christa has taught me that love isn’t a competition, it’s a partnership. It’s about knowing when to step up and when to step back. It’s about celebrating each other’s victories and carrying the weight when the other person can’t.

Love isn’t always glamorous. It’s laundry, it’s carpool duty, it’s navigating the minefield of “Where do you want to eat?” But because of Christa, I know that love is also the safest, strongest place to land. It’s knowing that no matter what, someone has your back—even when you’ve forgotten (again) to take out the trash.

Because of You

Because of Christa, I know that love isn’t about perfection—it’s about persistence. It’s about choosing each other, over and over, in the small moments and the big ones. It’s about seeing each other at our best and our worst and loving anyway.

So, to my wife, my best friend, my life’s greatest blessing—thank you for teaching me what love really is.
