Marriage in a shell

image

In just four days, I’ll be getting married to the second boyfriend I had. While lots of hardships and great joys (our children) happened in between the years we were apart, we are amazed where we are now.

As teenagers we were like the Levites with Golden calf in Exodus 32.

    No matter what we tried to replace God with was never enough. Our heart and soul knew of Him, but we did not build our life on Him.
False idols are never filling, they never give peace to the soul, like God can.

We have had it hard since we’ve started our relationship. I’ve had multiple medical issues and my love was just getting on his feet again. If we treat our relationships like God treats us (the church) we should hold tight to our faith.

See marriage is not a MUST! God asks for us to do all things that glorify Him and that doesn’t mean
“Hey when you get married, I want you to play it safe. Don’t worry about your servants heart. Just… Find a good comfort zone.”
Ephesians 5:21-32
That scripture seems simple, but how Christ loves the church?!?
Do we honestly realize and praise God for saying
“Please walk in Faith in me, as One!”

As one isn’t easy, especially when God also asks us to Steward our children.
Ephesians 6

People keep asking me….
Are you excited to get married?
I am excited my heart is where it’s always been and I am looking whole heartedly to a marriage and family that strives to glorify God in our relationships with each other an our relationship with our Lord, our Creator. No matter how many times we find ourselves thinking
“This golden calf is easier.”
We are now preparing to hold each other accountable.

With this
Psalm 133:1
