Today, B and I celebrate 10 years of marriage. It is a celebration of joys and sorrows, of the uphills and downhills and twists of the journey. It is a recognition that we are choosing love, learning more about Christ's love.
In our first year of marriage, a dear friend (Louise) told me over and over that our marriage would somehow be a reflection of Christ, that through the process of doing life together our sin would be evident and our need for grace would be desperately apparent. We would actually have the opportunity to love as Christ loved us. She said so many things to me that year, ringing preciously true in my ears even now.
I am so thankful for my husband. For a marriage that is broken and imperfect, and also filled with grace, forgiveness, and revealed healing. B has seen me and loved me (and not!) and I have seen and loved him (to be fair... and not). What a blessed adventure.
After 10 years I still believe that God prepared us for each other. I still believe that we can do all of life together, and that is a good plan. I still believe that every moment we share makes life richer. I am so very, very grateful.
