We joke that it feels like we’ve been married for years, but then you think we would he better at it by now.

Reflecting on our just over half a year as one, I’m laughing and thinking about how wonderful marriage is and how ridiculous I am a lot of the time.

I kind of had this idea that I was a decent, low -maintenance, sensible person. Then I moved in with this guy and all my notions of how easy I would be to live with came crashing down.

Actually, I get upset over stupid things a lot.

Actually, I assume my husband sees all the things I see around the house. We apparently see different things.

Actually, I can say some pretty unkind things I will later regret.

Every day I am reminded of this, though: God knew exactly what he was doing putting a man and a woman together. Yes, a man and a woman. Lucas has got this calm and peace and unruffled -ness that I desperately need and I have got this insane structure and plan that he really actually would be fine without. 😂 I keep him from being bored, that’s for sure. 😉

We complete each other and it’s absolutely supernatural and beautiful to be a part of something so refining.

I love weeknight evenings with my husband. I love making dinner and playing Chinese checkers and going to bed at 9:30. I love our jokes and our car rides and I love how he makes me see the world differently. I love that God saw fit to gift me with a husband. Lord knows I needed it.

We have seen great joy and deep sorrow already together, and every day I’m more in love with the man of God my husband is.

Marriage is good, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. If yours isn’t it’s not because God screwed up on the concept.

We have fought, cried, laughed, sought counsel, PRAYED, and laughed some more. I am forever grateful to be his wife and I look forward to growing together for the rest of our lives.

Don’t let the culture convince you biblical marriage is outdated. Don’t let them trick you into thinking it doesn’t matter if you’re married to the same or different genders. It all matters and it’s all important. God brought Adam bad Eve together and they are our prototype. God’s way is best and beautiful. I am done with the whole Facebook argument thing, but I’m not done proclaiming truth. The enemy is after families right now ***one of the most ****and the most important thing Christians can do is marry godly spouses and make babies who will follow the lord. We have over complicated things way too much. Family is everything. Unless God has given you the gift of singleness, earnestly pray into finding a spouse. God’s timing is perfect. . If you’re married, rejoice!! And then give your attention to creating a fruitful marriage.

Ok I’m done. I’m so glad that I’m married now so I can address married people 😂😂

Enjoy your day and your husbands and wives!
