I married the love of my life,
and I am still married to her.
She was my high school girlfriend. Well, actually she was the high school girlfriend. I had other girlfriends, but she was the one that I would always go back to. She was the girl that I loved.
We got married in 1996, and I have never... Never... had a day of regret. (Surprised honey?) It is absolutely true.
Don't get me wrong. There have been some times that were really difficult. Really. There have been some times that I wasn't sure that we were going to make it.
But God is so faithful. And He is the one who deserves the credit for this accomplishment. He has allowed me to keep the wife of my youth, and what a wonderful blessing that is turning out to be.
In a world that discards marriage so easily. Where people drop out of marriage the way they drop out of heir cell phone contracts, I am so happy that when the going got tough, we didn't give up. I think that I am more "in love" today than I was 11 years ago.
If I am going to list some life accomplishments, then this is the best place to start. Of all the things that I have done in my life, getting (and staying) married is one of my greatest accomplishments.
mr h.less, i am so happy to hear all of that. it makes me not so afraid to be married (not that it's happening anytime soon!). i love it when couples say that marraige is great, it's something i don't hear often. good for you guys, keep up the lovin!

Marriage is great!
ReplyDeleteThink about it, God invented it, and all that He invented is good. Seamless logic.
Good to hear from you Angela.
