As I was thinking what to say…I thought what does the dictionary say about the word “engagement”? If you read the above…all four definitions can apply to the commitment that a relationship involves. The promise of being a couple, there for each other, engaged in the day to day flow of life…the simplicity of a caress…to the love notes sent to each other via texting…they are forms of being engaged with each other.
But then being engaged is the very art of life…throughout our lives we’re engaged with our parents, grandparents, our siblings…our friends…even our pets.
Love that foot action...
So Maria & Ernesto are engaged to share life and live for the rest of their lives together and very soon they’ll be married but still engaged in life…together.
