I LOVE YOU!!

Thirteen years ago today I made a promise before God to the most amazing guy. He has held me up through it all and vowed to never give up- even when it would have been all too easy to do. You have no idea the quirks he has to put up with daily :), but he does....and loves it (I'm sure of it!)!! So, today I choose to tell the world-

I LOVE MY HUSBAND EVEN MORE TODAY!!

I'll be honest here and tell you that there was a time when we didn't know if this day would come. But about 8 years ago, my hubby wouldn't let us fail. He fought like he'd never fought to help us succeed. In a world where failed marriages seem to be the norm, my guy wouldn't give up. And because of him (and GOD!!) we are stronger today than ever. With God's help, we were lead to the book "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman. I cannot recommend it enough. A strong marriage is about respect, giving of yourself (totally and sacrificially), doing it together. Being one in Christ.

I found a shirt several months ago and on the front it says "I Love My Husband". It is one of my favorites and those close to me are probably tired of seeing me wear it. But I wear it so everyone knows it is possible, and there isn't a day I have it on when someone (usually many someones) ask me about it.

So, love your spouse!! Stick to that promise you made to each other and to God. Good marriages aren't easy but leaning on Christ, you will succeed!!!

I LOVE YOU, HONEY!!

In Him,

E
