Twenty-two years ago today I married the man of my dreams! Yes, today, Saturday, August 22 Scott and I celebrate our 22nd wedding anniversary. As I reflect back over our twenty-two years of marriage, I am thankful for my husband. He has been there for me in sickness and in health, for richer and for poorer. Our marriage has been a wonderful journey. Through the years we have seen both the worst and the best of times together. We have endured hardships side by side. We have celebrated victories. We have been there for each other through thick and thin.
Our marriage isn't perfect, because we aren't. However, we made a commitment to each other - a life time commitment. Even before we walked down that eisle, we decided that no matter what, divorce would never be an option for us - we'd work out any problems that came our way. We committed our marriage to Christ, making Him the center and foundation of our marital relationship. And through the years, even when things seemed at their worst, we honor that commitment we made to Christ and to each other. And when the 'honeymoon' wears off, you learn that love is a choice, a beautiful, blessed choice between a husband and wife! You choose to love that person at their best and even at their worst - isn't that how Christ loves us, while we were still sinners?
And you know what? I love my husband more today than ever before! He is my best friend, my lover, and my soul mate! He is still the man of my dreams - and so much more!
In His Love, Cathy
