I need to apologize. I have not been completely “honest.” Marriage is HARD! If you looked at the “x-ray” of our marriage you would see the bruises and brokenness that 6 years of courtship and 41 years of marriage can bring. You would see how broken we were. You would see the selfishness that caused the bumps. The sin that caused the bruises. You would see the individual egos that masterminded unnecessary conflict. I know this is not the popular story to tell
but it is the real one. Looking at the totality of our life I can really say we appreciate the journey because it brought us to the “sweet spot” that we live in now. You looked at the x-ray. Check the results of the blood test. It will show the blood of Jesus injected into ours during times of trials and turmoil. You will see the holy spirit navigating our road trip through life. You will hear the word of God explaining the covenant we agreed to. You will see our love grow from “puppy love” to agape love. This transition could only happen when we both recognized His desire to move and transform our lives from two to one. We gave that one life to Him. Marriage ain’t for the weak and faint of heart, but if you give yourself and your marriage to God He will clear a path to a sweet spot that I can attest to is so so amazing! I love you sweetheart. Glad The Tomb Is Empty
