God Gave Me You is a beautiful song by Blake Shelton. When I hear this song it makes me think of my parents marriage and marriages that have lasted through the ups and downs. My parents have been married for 28 years; I have so much respect for them for staying strong through the ups and downs no matter what. It makes me know that it is possible to find your true love. Look at how happy and in love they still are, makes me so proud!
Marriage is all about being there for the one you married, Blake's lyrics "You stay here right beside me and watch as the storm blows through" says it all. When you marry someone you take vows to be there no matter what, through any storm, in sickness and in health. To me those are very sacred words and need to be practiced in all marriages. In my opinion marriage isn't taken seriously by some, for example Kim Kardashian and her husband, getting a divorce already, they were together for two seconds and got married, they didn't even know each other. I guess I am kind of old school when it comes to marriage, you do it once! When you get married to the person you love, you become one, "on my own I am only half of what I could be I can't do without you we are stitched together", and still separate people but love binds the two people together into one. My favorite line in the song is "you will always be love's great martyr", how beautiful those words are.
Sure love is very hard work and to keep it strong, you have to be strong and willing to fight through all the ups and downs, because with life there are many. "God gave me you for the ups and downs; God gave me you through the days of doubt". My parents are the perfect example of how a marriage should be, of course they have their ups and downs but that's why God gave them each other. I would like to dedicate this song to my parents, and say how proud I am to be there daughter, thanks for proving that true love does exist.
