You know you’ve been married for almost 18 years when you pull into your driveway and your heart melts at the sight of your husband dripping with sweat, with dirt under his nails, and wearing mis-matched work clothes. Hey, what could possibly be more awesome than the sight of a hard working husband, taking such good care of his family? He could be dressed all spiffy like, bringing me flowers, and I guess I’d be okay with that too. But I’m telling you – give the guy a shovel or a paint brush and my heart starts to thump.
This proves I’m an oldie-wed, but I don’t care. I love how Matt shows his care for me by doing all the “little” things that need to be done around here.
Matt and I feel very strongly that God has called us to encourage others in their marriage. We are so thankful for the marriage God has given us and would love for others to experience the same. (We also pray often for protection in our marriage and for others who are striving for a healthy marriage. Satan would love to destroy strong marriages. We’ve got to fight, friends!)
As a reminder, since we haven’t shared it here for a while, we’ve got a FREE Healthy Marriage From A to Z eBook in our Shop. We’d love for you to go download it (no strings attached!) and read through it. Feel free to share it with anyone you wish. We don’t claim to be experts. We just enjoyed sharing our hearts on the subject and put it into a free resource for you. (We finally put a link to the book on our sidebar too, for easy access!)
Praise God for marriage! He is good.
