3 Most Important Choices in Marriage

Jeff called my attention to an article in Christianity Today entitled: The Three Most Important Choices (You Make in Marriage):

Those choices involve forgiveness, prayer and staying united. It's really a blessing to read. All three played a critical role in keeping our marriage afloat. My spiritual connection with Jeff is something I especially treasure...It was an element not initiated consistently by either party in his previous marriage...So we make prayer a daily priority to strengthen our connection to one another and to the Lord.

The author of the article wrote, "Sometimes all a marriage needs is that little bit of vision, that little glimpse of what we can be."

Today I returned home from a long trip to Bureau and LaSalle Counties. I trekked 180 miles in the car and upon my return had to pick up the kids and whip up a family meal. My body was beat. But on my computer was a note from Jeff saying, "I love you and missed you today. You are the light of my life."

I just long for the day when we're old and gray (of course he'll beat me to it by a decade!) and the hard work is behind us and we're just enjoying each other's company. That vision makes all the work now feel worth it.
