Sentimental Reasons

I heard an old song on the car radio this morning.

It was recorded in the 1950’s and was titled, “I love you for sentimental reasons.”

What are the sentimental reasons you love your spouse?

Is it the great joy of greeting your firstborn child?

Is it the countless little kindnesses along the way?

Is it the loving care you received during a medical emergency?

Is it the times you worked shoulder to shoulder during a financial crisis.

Is it the emotional support after the death of your parents?

Is it your partner’s constant loyalty through the ups and downs?

Is it the willingness to admit making a mistake?

Is it the willingness to forgive?

Is it the willingness to respect your privacy?

Is it the willingness to love you unconditionally?
