You Really Love Me That Much?

A few days ago I was speaking with Aaron online and in the middle of the conversation he stopped me and said:

I just read your blog... Wow... You really love me that much?

Naturally I laughed and said "don't be silly - of course I do!" but later on it got me thinking.

No matter how much you tell someone you love them, no matter how many ways you show them, no matter how long you have been together, no matter how many people you say your vows in front of; people will always doubt themselves.

People will always worry that they are unworthy of another person's love. Or worry that they don't deserve someone as good as their partner. Have you found yourself thinking 'this is too good to last', 'one of these day they will realise they can do better than me' or even 'how could they possibly love me?'

Aaron and I are the perfect example: I see him as the 'better' half. He has so much more to offer - he's gorgeous, smart, has an excellent career and determination to boot, hard-working, generous, kind... the list goes on. And he's surprised I love him??

I think you'll find most relationships are similar - each person incredulous at the thought of the other being interested in them - and of course this is a good thing (it would be bad if one person thought 'well, naturally they love me but I could do better'). 

But, at the end of the day, I still can't believe my luck - that someone like him would want marry someone like me!!!
