This man’s Facebook post about ‘the one’ will make you believe in real love

Oh dear God, pass us the tissues.

If you’re anyway fragile today, maybe look away now.

In a Facebook post that has gone massively viral, Dale Partridge expresses his love for his wife, Veronica, and how special it is to share a monogamous relationship with her.

2016 has had its fair share of celebrity break-ups with people despairing about the possibility of lasting love and that’s part of the reason why this post has resonated with so many.

It’s been shared almost 300,000 times, likes are 667,000 and counting and when you read the below words, you’ll realise exactly why.

In the simple post, Dale discusses how he’s fallen in love with many different versions of his wife throughout their seven-year marriage.

According to Today.com, the couple live in Oregon with their two children and are expecting a third.

As for Veronica, when Dale showed her what he had written she simply replied:

“Wow, that just hit every heartstring you could possibly hit”.

This is Dale’s post in full:

“Men are so worried that marriage will leave them with “only one woman” for the rest of their lives.

“That’s simply not true. I fell in love with a 19-year-old rock climber, married a 20-year-old animal lover, started a family with a 24-year-old mother, then built a farm with a 25-year-old homemaker, and today I’m married to a 27-year-old woman of wisdom.

“If your mind is healthy, you’ll never get tired of “one woman”.

“You’ll actually become overwhelmed with how many beautiful versions of her you get to marry over the years. Don’t say no to marriage, say yes and keep saying yes until the day you die. #DaleyWisdom”.
