For Better or Worse


It was 11 years ago today that we said "I Do".

By the grace of God, His mercy on us and His love for us, we have remained together all these years.  Through good times and bad...through amazing times and completely horrific and awful times...we have stayed the course.

We still have the same arguments.  We still struggle with the same sin.  We still battle the same idols in our lives.  We still have the same quirks and pet peeves. 

Now, we have a teenage boy, a preteen boy, two highly-emotional and sassy girls and one almost terrible two-er.  So I imagine we're in for plenty of new experiences this next year of marriage.

But thankfully our faith continues to grow.  Our personal relationships with the Lord are deepening and being strengthened, which in turn is affecting our marriage relationship in ways we never thought possible.  For that I am grateful.  We are blessed beyond measure.

"What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined for life - to strengthen each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain, to be one with each other in silent, unspeakable memories."  George Eliot
