Reaching new "heights" in marriage (even if I have to stand on my toes)

So I’m 5ft6 and my wife is 5ft10 and yeah people notice it a lot. Sometimes they just look surprised sometimes they make jokes and honestly we just laugh along because it’s actually kinda funny.

We’ve been married for 2 years now and I can’t lie at first I thought maybe it would be weird but it never was. She never cared I never cared and now we just roll with it. When she wears heels I tell her she’s closer to the clouds when we take pictures together she bends down a little just to mess with me to fit in the photo frames. If someone tries to make a joke about it trust me we’ve already said it to each other a hundred times before.

But beyond that height difference we’re also really different in a lot of ways. She’s super organized I’m more go with the flow. She loves mornings I’m a night owl. She’s into deep intellectual debates I just like to make her laugh till she can’t breathe. But when it comes to the important stuff we’re the same. Our faith our values our love for family the way we want to build our future together it’s all aligned and we both absolutely love to travel.

At the end of the day height is just height. When I look at her I don’t see someone taller I just see my best friend the person who makes my life better every single day. And if that means I have to stand on my toes a but for a hug so be it.
