A New Bride Teaches Her Husband A Lesson He’ll Never Forget

David turned to me, his eyes soft. “I’ll stay with you, Sarah. We’ll wait for updates together.”

As the hours passed, we sat together, holding hands and talking about everything but the impending birth. It felt good, being connected, being together. When the news finally came that Jenny had delivered a healthy baby, David and I both let out a collective sigh of relief.

Later that night, as we lay in bed, I turned to David. “You really kept your promise,” I said, feeling a swell of love for him.

David smiled, brushing a strand of hair from my face. “I meant it, Sarah. You’re my priority.”

In the months that followed, our relationship only grew stronger. David continued to balance helping others with being present for me. I saw a change in him, a newfound awareness of what it meant to be a partner, to be there when it mattered.
