Pete and I have been together a little over 4 years.
Looking back through our years together, I can honestly say
that I have never been more satisfied in our relationship as I am today. Marital bliss is not the same
thing as lustful passion, although passion is a necessity for marriage. A
Christ-centered marriage is far more rewarding than youthful puppy-love and
romance.
I've been falling in love with the same person every day –
over and over… for over four years now... and still, God renews us each day and
it never gets old. I am married to my best friend. We even finish each other’s
sentences. And though our attention gets swallowed up by mundane daily tasks a
lot of times, there is a wonderful blessing to having complete trust and faith
in God's ability to keep us together through the trials of life.
To my newly engaged and/or recently married friends, there's no magic pill that guarantees
you will stay together and have a wonderful union... it all boils down to
sacrifice, service, loyalty, thoughtfulness, and Jesus .

the Jesus part.)
Amen to everything. I love this! Husband and I just celebrated 5 total years together, 3 of which we have been married. I've learned more about God, love and myself in these past three years especially. Marriage is a blessed union.
ReplyDeleteThat's so refreshing to hear. All too often, marriage is spoken about so negatively. While, quite honestly, if you just change your mindset, you can change a lot about life.
DeletePreach it sista! Beautiful post.

Sweet post and great pic :)
ReplyDeleteI completely agree! After 13-years of marriage, the only thing that has remained constant had been our mutual knowledge of the importance of having Jesus as the center or our marriage!
ReplyDeleteI love that you put Christ in the center of your relationship!! That is definitely something I hope to find one day :) And I'm glad I found your blog, you've gained a new follower!
