The longer we are married the better it is... no, I didn't say it was 'perfect' and that we don't have to work at our relationship. But it is good.
I am learning that marriage is just that: good. There is much to celebrate, to enjoy and that is where I want to focus. In our 'efforts' to help people see the seriousness of marriage I think we have forgotten to encourage the good in marriage, the 'good' that we can celebrate.
The longer I am married the more I want to please, help, build up, love this Man! I am learning (please note I said 'learning'!) to put him ahead of myself. I am basically selfish..... but some of the things that I have, in the past, thought were so important really amount to a pile of rubbish!
In the last weeks as I have thought about these things, I have also thought about God and how He compares marriage to relationship to Him. I am seeing how some of these things I am observing about my marriage also apply to my relationship with God.....
I know many people have eloquently written about marriage and about relationship with God. I know I am not eloquent but I also know that no one, nothing can take away my experience and for that I give thanks!
