It's my anniversary today and I just wanted to say a little somthing about marriage. I never would have dreamed that I would marry someone that I enjoy so much. I mean certainly I hoped for it, who doesn't? But my husband is not only my husband (in the romantic sense of the word) he is also my best friend.
I say frequently that being married is like a permanent sleep-over with your best friend and it really is true. I don't have to worry about being cool, or saying the right things, I don't have to be nervous that maybe if I do this or don't do that, that he might stop liking me. There's no anxiety in that way.
I always hated that anxiety in dating. You know what I mean? That whole, "Will he still like me? What happens if...?" None of that lingers into this marriage. I am completely confident in my relationship. And what a blessing that is!
What a blessing to be in a relationship with God at the center...and what does that mean really? You hear that all the time but what in the world does it mean? For us it means that God blesses our relationship and takes us places together, not geographical locations you understand. It means that as iron sharpens iron, we help each other become better versions of ourselves with loving honesty. It means that we trust our relationship and our lives to God's plan.
Here's the thing about marriage, it is truly a gift, and I am honored to be allowed to participate.
