To Have and To Hold

We attended "A weekend to remember" this weekend.( sponsored by familylife.com) WOW, all I can say is it was great. I highly recommend it to all married couples. We learned how women and men are different and how our styles of communication are different, how to be respectful of each other and how not to be selfish. We learned that marriage is not for our individual happiness and that we are better together than apart. That God has a plan and provision for us as a couple. We each wrote each other a love letter and in the closing we renewed our vows to each other. What my husband learned is that he needs to be more affirming in his words to me and what I learned is that I need to show him more respect. The thing I took to heart the most from this weekend is that "My husband is a gift." Our 5 yr marriage has not been all hoopla's and hoorays. We have had our share of difficulties, as all marriages do. Marriage is alot work some days, but so rewarding too. God has a plan, and If we keep God in the center and strive to live accordingly, when the storms come we will make it through. May God bless all those marriages out there and give you the perfect marriage partner for you.
