The Bridge to Nothingness: A Reflection on Love and Marriage.
=============================================================

Marriage, in many ways, is like crossing a bridge to nowhere. Throughout my 28 years of marriage, I have come to understand that this bridge, although it seems solid at first, stretches to an uncertain horizon. In that journey, one does not find the certainty that one often anticipates or desires, but rather faces the reality that everything must begin to be built each day.

<p style="text-align: justify" dir="justify">With the passing of time it is common to find people who tell you the phrase: What a solid marriage, what a strong relationship you have; but marriage, like a bridge, must be built with several very solid columns. They represent the joy, the challenges, the laughter and the tears, with the passing of time those pillars become stronger but they require a lot of attention and care. Today my three children, now adults, are witnesses of this journey. They are now the travelers who must cross this bridge. They have already seen how our forces have united to build our home; even though at this date the final goal is still unclear.</p><p style="text-align: justify" dir="justify">Love does not imply certainty, nor assurances, but a commitment to move forward together even if the path is not always clear. Crossing this bridge means accepting that we are in a new territory, where every day becomes an opportunity to discover something different about the other and about oneself. The daily construction of love resembles bricks or paving stones that are laid in the building of our path.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify" dir="justify">Thus marriage teaches us that life is not about crossing to a definitive destination but about enjoying every step of the crossing of that bridge. To look back and see the distance traveled, to appreciate the columns that our bridge obtains and to have the courage to manage the unknown. Not knowing what awaits us on the other side. Love flourishes in this uncertainty turning what could be a step into nothingness, into a space full of possibilities and dreams to be built. We are still building this bridge with love, respect and commitment where we will continue to walk together as a family.</p>

**El Puente hacia la Nada: Una Reflexión sobre el Amor y el Matrimonio**
========================================================================

<p style="text-align: justify" dir="justify">El matrimonio, es en muchos sentidos, como cruzar un puente hacia la nada. A lo largo de mis 28 años de casado he llegado a comprender que ese puente aunque parece sólido al principio, se extiende hacia un horizonte incierto. En ese trayecto, uno no encuentra la certeza que muchas veces se anticipa o se desea, más bien se enfrenta la realidad de que todo debe comenzarse a construir en cada día.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify" dir="justify">Con el transcurrir del tiempo es común encontrar personas que te dicen la frase: Que matrimonio tan sólido, qué relación tan fuerte tienen ustedes; pero el matrimonio al igual que un puente debe construirse diversas columnas muy sólidas. Ellas representan la alegría, los desafíos, las risas y las lágrimas, con el transcurrir del tiempo esos pilares se vuelven más fuerte pero requieren de mucha atención y mucho cuidado. Hoy mis tres hijos, ya adultos, son testigos de este viaje. Ellos son ahora los viajeros que deben atravesar dicho puente. Ellos ya han visto como nuestras fuerzas se han unido para edificar nuestro hogar; aunque a esta fecha la meta final siga siendo difusa.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify" dir="justify">El amor no implica certeza, ni seguridades sino un compromiso seguir avanzando juntos aunque el camino no siempre esté claro. Cruzar este puente significa aceptar que estamos en un territorio nuevo, donde cada día se convierte en una oportunidad de descubrir algo diferente sobre el otro y sobre uno mismo. La construcción diaria del amor se asemeja a ladrillos o adoquines que se colocan en la edificación de nuestro camino.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify" dir="justify">Así el matrimonio nos enseña que la vida no se trata de cruzar hacia un destino definitivo sino de disfrutar cada paso de la travesía de ese puente. Mirar hacia atrás y ver la distancia recorrida, apreciar las columnas que se obtiene nuestro puente y tener la valentía de gestionar lo desconocido. De no saber que nos espera al otro lado. El amor florece en esta incertidumbre convirtiendo lo que podría ser un paso a la nada, en un espacio lleno de posibilidades y sueños por construir. Aun seguimos construyendo ese puente con mucho amor, respeto, compromiso por donde seguiremos caminando siempre juntos y en familia.</p><p style="text-align: justify" dir="justify">La foto tiene 28 años</p>
