My History lecturer, Dr Mark Emmanuel, was asked to come up with a short message for the marriage of one of his friends. He said, "Both of you are historians of one another."
"You are your wife's historian, because you create meaning in her life. Your wife is your historian, because she creates meaning in your life."
"Life is meaningless if no one remembers it. One is always producing memories. Everyone is always a historian. We are givers of meaning - we give meaning to life, because we write these memories down. We are each others' historians."
