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 .
(Heavy on
the Jesus part.)
