Very well said. Even though there are days that I may not like my husband, I always love him. Marriage is not perfect but, it is so worth the work that is put into it. And, as my husband and I grow closer to Christ, we are also growing closer to each other. God is so good, I cannot believe I spent so much of life without Him in the center of it.
Wow. That sentence I mine was a bit of a run-on. Thanks, mate. Sounds like I have something to look forward to in the future. Who knows when? God knows!

Yes, He does know. If you are like me, it will happen when you least expect it. I had given up on dating all men and then my now-husband walked into my life a few weeks later. We became friends and eventually started dating. I fell in love on our first date.

You do have something wonderful and beautiful to look forward to. The only day that I can think of that was better than my wedding day was the day I was baptized--and my husband understands that completely. He knows that God comes first for me, just like God comes first for him.

My husband and I don't always get along, but he sure makes me melt with that smile of his! Even after being together for 4 years.

My husband is 1 step below Jesus for me. He is the one who led me to the Lord, who baptized me, and taught me about true love lasting through any attack from satan.

My wife is an amazingly, awesome godly woman. We both learn so much from each other in both the good times and the bad. We have both had our trials, but we have always gotten through them with Gods help, communication (something she is teaching me and more about) humility and respect. There have been many times i've felt like I wanted to run away but I know those feelings are not right and that I remind myself how much I love my dear wife and that she is safe with our covenant. I'm not the perfect guy, a stumble often but we help each other get back up. We have learnt how important it is for both to walk in agreement and to sort out issues ASAP. Marriage is not a walk in the park but it certainly isn't the hell that the world says it is (although how much like hell it is depends on you lol)
We have a gorgeous, handsome little boy together, that has given us even more trialing times but even more amazing times of joy and happiness and we look forward to having more children together.
Noticed I said trials many times? lol Yes? That's because many come in marriage, I wouldn't have learnt the things that I have nor been refined the way I have been in this way if it wasn't for marriage, it's quite a unique refining but not one that one should be afraid of because it's good :) And one last thing, the first thing I learnt not long after being married was how selfish I am, but i'm getting better by the grace of God :D
I hope someone finds this encouraging and insightful.

breno,

what a lovely, heartfelt witness.

marriage is a 'wonderful schoolmaster'!

you and your wife and your little one, are so very blessed,
especially at such an early age.
we rejoice that you are strengthening
your Spiritual and Marital bonds.

by your words, you have become an inspiration and a good example
for all who read and heed.

my husband and I have been married for many years,
and we have come through it well, despite our
many human frailties, for Jesus Christ has shown us
that He wants our marriage to reflect His soon to come
marriage.

Well, I'm one step closer, as of three weeks ago. I'm no longer single!

I am married but separated. However my husband has been wonderfully supportive of me and, after five years of separation, I see things he did that were loving and giving. Like washing by hand our cars every weekend and washing the toilets and most if all backing me up when things were rough at my work. He was always ON MY SIDE. I appreciate that very much about him now.
Also he face me license to do whatever I wanted to. Some would not see this as a good thing, but he was never insistent that I do anything. Or nothing. I suppose he wanted the same consideration and he got it. I was good to him too in many ways but would much rather have him tell you that story. I can pray for him now and love him now. But I wish to have prayed then and loved more then. Maybe someone will read this and shape up!!!

I wanted to bring this thread back up to bless us all again!

Dad has had dementia for years, yet lives on his own. Last night I got the phone call I thought my oldest brother would get. (He's the executor to Dad, so he's the one who gets stuck with making the awful decisions.) Dad went out at 9 AM to get his haircut. A cop half an hour from Dad's house called me at 10 PM to tell me Dad needed help, because he was lost all day.

I called oldest brother, who called youngest brother to go get Dad. After the crisis was resolved oldest brother says "it's time" but also talked about taking Dad's keys to his car. He didn't know if he would put Dad in a home or just take is keys.

Dad remembered me out of all six kids he has. I am his only child who doesn't have his last name anymore, so this is something big. Something about me gives him comfort, even when he can't think.

Oldest brother is going/has gone to Dad's house. Youngest brother was with Dad all last night. Dad has to be absolutely confused and absolutely exhausted after all of yesterday.

I was torn between calling him to let him know I'm still here for him and love him, and giving him space to deal with two brothers making decisions he wont like today. It's one of those guilty if I do and guilty if I don't.

What's that have to do with marriage and hubby? I told him this, got his opinion, and trust in it. I'm so glad he's my husband.
