19 years???? Really????

Celebrated our 19 year anniversary on Monday.  My understanding of marriage has certainly changed over the  years. 

Marriage takes a lot more than LOVE!!!  Love is not a noun, and it isn't easy to work with sometimes (no pun intended).

Marriage is a lot of work.......

It isn't easy.............

Sometimes you feel like giving up..........

But you don't............

You find a way to make things right.......

You find a way to meet half way............

You realize that this is what you signed up for........

You realize that you can't see yourself without your spouse..........

It begins to make sense.........

You realize that your love has deepened........

Is more seasoned.........

Is maturing...........

You find yourself in an easy chair side by side, legs crossed, a bit of a smile on your face, and you quietly thank God for pulling you through the hard times. 

You ask Him for 19-plus additional years...................

You will accept everyday He gives you!

Happy 19 JDoug!

This "Love" is for you~ (pun intended)
