On Saturday Grant and I did a triathlon together with Rebecca. Despite being stronger, faster and in better shape, Grant stuck with me the whole time. Including swimming in an all women heat when he could have been in the first heat of the race. We were one of only a few (maybe three) couples who raced together the whole time. In every part of the race we heard shouts of encouragement and cheers for our husband and wife team. At one point during the running portion we passed another couple racing together who cheered us saying, “COUPLES RULE!!!”
I could say a lot about the state of our society and the scarcity of traditional happy couples who stick together through thick and thin. Instead I will cheer my husband who sticks by my side in every leg of the race of life even if I am figuratively and literally weaker, slower and in worse shape. Together we can truly do anything!
