A couple of weeks ago, one reader commented that I haven’t been focusing enough on the joys of marriage in my blog. So, I decided to come up with a list of some of the joys of my marriage.I love easy tasks, and this certainly was one! In no particular order, here you go:
— Being able to see each other every single day of every single week
— Sharing our days in person rather than over the phone
–Doing routine grocery shopping together and making meals for each other in our very own kitchen
–Continuing to work on our home together and knowing the satisfaction of seeing it as a finished product
–Learning more about each other every day, even though we dated for nearly five years before we got married
— Watching movies we both love on the couch on a Friday night
— Looking forward to understanding what it will mean to love each other even more than we do today in the future to come
— Planning for the future, imagining what our lives and our family will be like
— Knowing that we are already on our chosen path of serving God, and that our most important decision has already been made and our vocation has begun together
— Reading and praying together every night before we go to bed
— Being held in the arms of the one I love as I fall asleep, and the feeling of peace that comes in knowing that there is nowhere else in the world I’d rather be than in his arms
— Feeling like I am the luckiest girl in the world to have such a good man who loves me so much
— Praying that God teach me how to love my husband better, and believing that, little by little, I will love him with all my heart
— Seeing ourselves five years ago in light of the man and woman we are today, realizing how much we have both grown in every aspect of our lives, and knowing that as we grew, we grew together
— Looking back over our memories of the past five years since Daniel and I began dating (beginning with the story Daniel told you last week) and seeing God’s hand in it all
— Hearing songs like this one and getting chills, making the most out of every spare time available to them
