I am convinced that the one greatest gift the Lord has given to me on earth is my spouse. I am amazed that two people can love each other as much as we do. He is my treasure.
This past week was our 20 year anniversary!
What? We are not that old...are we?
The richness of our relationship is proof that we are indeed that old. It also shows that in a sin energized world a marriage can be glorious!
If the same kids that are in this picture were living in our house today, we wouldn't have the same blessing-the same gift. We didn't know to die to self.
We didn't know that to receive the blessing of a glorious marriage you have to give 100% to your spouse. We have learned that each of us giving 50/50 doesn't cut it.
We have also witnessed that having to many girlfriends/guyfriends or spending to much time on facebook acquiring more "friends" leaves gaps that sin will sneak into.
We have learned that this gift of marriage can be the best thing on earth, but it is a gift you have to fight for.
If you long to have a whole relationship, you have to beat Satan at his game.
Cling to each other.
Cling to the ways of the Lord.
