Love IS a wonderful thing. Two unsuspecting persons (hearts) walk out of a building; lay eyes on one another for the first time and fall hopelessly in love (two hearts become one) and create their own love story.
Sorry if you think this is going to be a soppy love story, because it isn’t. Married for only two years has been a struggle. As is the case in many new marriages, young people fall in love so quickly only to become disillusioned with marriage, only seeing the other person’s faults and failures.
The beauty of our story is that once we’d committed our marriage to serve the Lord did we wake up to the reality that the other person wasn’t perfect and nor the enemy, it was then that things changed. Far be it from me to give marriage advice, but putting aside egos, and working toward reconciliation can improve things. All is NOT lost. Your vows to love one another through thick and thin should be that which gets you through the rough patches.

I still battle to understand why getting married changes things.. I am in love with a guy, he asks me to marry him and I say yes. Surely things should stay the same afterwards? Being in a relationship and getting married doesn't mean things should change. To me a relationship is about a constant flow of communication, trust and respect. Listening to people in general talk about marriage makes me not really want to get married.. But that aside, congrats on rekindling your relationship :)
ReplyDeleteMarriage is a beautiful union, needs attention and can bring teh very best and very worst out of you.
ReplyDeleteI am glad for the chance I have been given to be crafted by my wife's words into a person of character.
Nicely said Keith! Love is a consistent experience that needs fun, honesty, trust and communication to stay pure and beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteWorking on the up-keeping of a marriage is only as hard as you make it. The answer lies in What God expects of you in your holy union. The underlying key to success is definitely respect and also understanding that we strive toward being perfect. Pleasing God results in a happy marriage. I have been married for 4 years now and believe strongly if you include God in your marriage you include happiness! Nice one Nivin.
