The Things I Know…Now…
Last week while I was sitting in the living room looking at my wedding pictures, I just started crying. It was an emotional moment, but I know that God wants me to share my thoughts with you.
As I look at our faces in this picture, I see such naive innocency. A good naive innocency. At times before marriage I thought I had it “tough”, but the last four years have taught me otherwise. I’m not complaining at all, but my perspective has changed.
How has my perspective changed? Read “The Things I Know Now” over on Gather Inspirit today.
We just celebrated our 30th anniversary and I’m just 48 so that means a very young marriage and life has taught me lots of things. Love doesn’t concur all, love does make it all worth while. No one is perfect and he’s not going to chance and if you change to meet him he’s just going to change something else. Be your own person. Love from the bottom of your heart even when he makes you mad. Always, no matter what kiss him good bye, wave good bye (they do look back). So he hated that dinner, there’s tomorrow night to try again. He opens his mouth before thinking, it happens…forgive him and forget it, it hurts more to keep remembering it. Hold his hand, even if he’s not a hand holder. Let him squeeze this and that, he loves you no matter with little or lots. He’s worth it, 100x more today then when you married him.
Take care and God Bless!!!

In my last four years I’ve learn a lot!!! From joy to pain to loss to gain and a lot more in between. Do I think that our love for each other is different, for sure but it’s a better kind of love the one that is not blinded by the butterflies in my tummy but rather a love for seeing my spouse sins and still choose to love him despite of it! And he could say the same for me.
A deeper love that bring us closer to God and to each other, a kind of love that need to be cherish and nurture every day!!!
Thanks for sharing this great post with us!

That’s so true. It made me look over at my own wedding picture. We had not a clue what we would face in the 1st 10 years of marriage and we have no clue what’s ahead. But God knows. And He’s been good so far (life hasn’t always been good but He has!) so I know I can trust Him. Thanks for that reminder.

Such a great post! Went over and read it.. thank you!
Marriage is rarely what we expect. I’ve been married now for 21 years and have learned so much about what it means to be in covenant to my husband. Great article!
