what is the very reason you get married?

i am married for almost 2 years now. i tried to have a glimpse on how i decided to get tied and settle down with the man i knew for more than 5 years but i had never given a chance to be with in a relationship. we never pass the stage of being a girlfriend/boyfriend, i turned him down so many times and i never ever expect, not in my wildest dream that he is to become my husband. but despite of me turning him down for so many times, he never stop courting me. he stayed with me as a friend. he was already a seaman when i knew him, and the nature of his work is the main reason why i don't want him to be my boyfriend. i don't want a long distance relationship, i had experience it once and it just didn't work. so i prefer a man who works near me, one who could be with me at the end of the day. little did i know that he will be my man. last 2009, a very sad thing happen in my family, my father died. and the only constant person who never left me that time was my husband now. though he was still overseas when it happened, he never failed to cheer me up, support me emotionally during the greatest downfall i've encountered, and he never ask something in return. when he comes home from his contract, he was always there beside me. telling me things about life, helping me through it all, then i realized that he is the man that i need for the rest of my life. the strength when i was at the weakest, the joy when i was so sad, the pat on my shoulder when i feel weary. he was so shocked and overjoyed when i told him that i wanted to be his wife, and that's how our love story began. we only enjoyed our girlfriend/boyfriend relationship when we were already married. and i felt so happy and bless to be with him for the rest of my life.
