Out of that time, we've been married for 3 years. 3 months. 18 days. And I love him more today than the day we got married....and I loved him A LOT that day!
This morning I went to a monthly Bible study at our church. The topic was The Delight of Loving Your Husband. Sadly, there are many people who would probably be tempted to laugh at a title like this. DELIGHT in loving your husband?! Our culture tends to too often see marriage as dull and boring and a burden. I am so thankful NOT to have that mindset and to REALLY and TRULY DELIGHT in loving Chip! I am not always perfect at it. There are my days where I am less than delightful, I'm sure (just ask Chip!) But God has truly blessed our marriage and continues to grow us each day in our love for each other through our love for Him.
Our homework from today was to write out a list of reasons, traits and attributes that we admire, respect, and love about our husbands....then share them with our husbands. It was interesting to me that this was presented as quite a challenge. I am not sure how many other women felt this way, but I got excited thinking about my list and trying to figure out how I was going to keep my "list" from turning into a novel! It really opened my eyes to just how much God has blessed me with the man He has given me. And it saddened me to think that for other women, this homework assignment was going to be a hard thing to do.
Here we are today......
Still loving each other and life we have together. I love you Chip! Thanks for loving me too. And most of all, THANK YOU LORD, for the love that you continue to put inside us for one another!
