My how time flies when your having fun!
Tomorrow my beautiful bride and I will celebrate 33 years of marriage.
Its hard to believe that it has been that long and even harder for some people to believe that it has lasted this long.
As many of you are aware we didn’t have a very good start. We were both pretty selfish and self-centered and neither of us had any good “marriage models” to help guide us in our new adventure.
So after a couple of very difficult years we decided to look at Gods blueprint for a successful marriage.
I can tell you if it hadn’t been for God’s divine intervention and Him teaching both of us how to love, trust, respect and serve one-another we wouldn’t be celebrating anything tomorrow.
So why am I writing this blog on the eve of my 33rd anniversary?
Partly to say that I am married to the most beautiful, caring and incredible woman in the world and I am eternally grateful.
And partly to say when I look at the marriages in the world as well as the church my heart is grieved at the way people treat one-another.
God never intended for your marriage to be a heartache or a nightmare. He intended for you marriage to be a little taste of heaven while here on the earth.
As you know, great marriages don’t just happen on there own. It takes a lot of hard work to build a strong, healthy, vibrant marriage.
Please let me encourage you to take the time and make the investment into your marriage. There is nothing more important in your life than learning to grow together as a married couple. When you learn the secrets to a lasting marriage you learn the secrets to life.
So as I get ready to take my bride out of town for a wonderful celebration I challenge you to decide in you heart to take you marriage to a “whole new level” over the next few years… I think you will be glad you did.
I sure am!
May God be honored and blessed by the way we love our spouse!
