But after twenty-five years of marriage (today is our twenty-fifth wedding anniversary), we're still saying it.
I'm not an expert in marriage. I'm not even an expert in my own marriage. But this I know: I wouldn't want to be doing life with anyone else than the man who took my hand twenty-five years ago and committed himself, before God and others, to stay by my side for better and for worse. And who can turn the most disagreeable task, like cleaning up vomit, into a romantic promise by saying those precious words yet again, "You know, I wouldn't want to be doing this with anyone but you."
Right back at ya, Babe. I pray we get another twenty-five. Happy Anniversary!
Thanks for allowing me to digress this week and throughout advent. Next week we'll explore why kids don't tell when they're abused--important knowledge to have in the effort to protect our kids.
We pray the Lord's smile and blessing on your lives. It's been beautiful seeing how you two love - support - affirm each other so often.
ReplyDeleteWe too pray you'll have another 25 - unless the Lord returns before that. =) Happy anniversary!
Hope you have a wonderful anniversary! Congratulations on loving and staying for 25 years!
ReplyDeleteJust discovered your blog today. Thanks for the great work you are doing. I pray many children are being spared because you are holding up the light of education to parents who will get out of their chairs and protect their children with knowledge.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all those kids.
