Happily Married

Christmas Memories

 

When I stop to think of all the Christmas's past. my heart

wells with love.

For because of God's great mercy He gave me

a husband that loved me well.

 

It was not always as great as it is now.

But there was so many things we did not understand, or know about

in those first couple of years.

 

A great marriage is a relationship

that must be nourished and prayed over daily.

It is learning to love and esteem the other better then yourself.

 

It is about putting them first and his needs.

 

Dying to myself was most painful as a young

self centered spunky gal.

 

As a newly married women I had no one to mentor me in

 the skills of being a Godly women.

And most importantly a Godly wife.

 

We both new something was not right, but we had no

examples to follow and we had no maturity

in the word of God.

 

But in God's great mercy he made us aware of a  conference,

that was for marriages.

We went and it was a whole weekend filled with:

How to have a Godly Marriage.

 

What we learned that weekend was truly a gift from the Lord.

The truth is not always easy.

But the truth will always bring life , love and hope.

 

My desire and prayer as I walk in this marriage,

is to be an example to others.

And to have an encouraging word.

 

Marriage is what God had in His heart,

so we had someone to share this life with.

 

Encourage yourself in your own marriage,

and make the effort to honor and cherish your mate.

 

Ask God for the help and resources you may need,

to make your marriage strong, and wonderful.

I still reach for my books to read about how to be a Godly wife.

It is like a good recipe, tried and true,

yet at times you need to add a little pinch of this,

or a dash of that.
