Both people have to be willing to bend and to give at times. One thing that resonates with me is that my husband is a child of God just like I am, and as that he has been given grace and mercy by Christ, I too have been shown grace and mercy by my Savior, so with that said, should I not then extend that same mercy to my spouse...it is hard sometimes I know. Another thing that I think would make marriages more successful is that if both parties are putting God first, then their spouse. When I am walking close to Him, then it seems easier for me to do the kinds of things that will be bring love and peace to the relationship. i cannot love my spouse as I am supposed to in myself, it takes a higher power for me to be able to do that. Let me also just say that, just bc people have been divorced does not mean they are doomed. God forgives, and in turn can help us learn to forgive and let go of the past. you see we both come from past divorces....life is not perfect sometimes...and it hurts. Now that I know what God brought me from, I see where I could have done things differently in the past and may have even avoided the divorce...knowing that, I dont want to make the same mistakes. I have forgiven my ex ( i know it sounds crazy) and I have forgiven myself. I know that God is gracious in His mercy to me, and He alone has shown me what I need to do in my marriage. I go to Him for everything! I ask Him often to show me how to remedy the situations, the conflicts, the trials, to give me insight into my husband and show me what would bless him the most...I am fortunate that my spouse tries to do the same thing.....be Blessed my friend!I Wouldn't Trade Nothing for My Journey Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795296059520816464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2032005568043451825.post-67723627856189154872012-09-04T11:49:21.915-07:002012-09-04T11:49:21.915-07:00Thank you and congratulations to the two of you as...Thank you and congratulations to the two of you as well!!I Wouldn't Trade Nothing for My Journey Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795296059520816464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2032005568043451825.post-63399039343925305462012-09-04T11:23:34.053-07:002012-09-04T11:23:34.053-07:00congratulation and happy wedding anniversary to bo...congratulation and happy wedding anniversary to both of you :) you look lovely couple. guess what? hubby and I will celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary on the 8th of this month too :Djheylohttp://jerlalou.blogspot.com/2012/09/he-know-how-to-please-us.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2032005568043451825.post-17847094774971690382012-09-04T05:04:42.497-07:002012-09-04T05:04:42.497-07:00That is very sweet.

It is nice seeing people work on their relationship instead of just letting it crash and burn and then discarding it (not downing divorcees...I have been there...sometimes there isnt a save button on a marriage) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2032005568043451825.post-63632998935419298252012-09-04T00:46:00.287-07:002012-09-04T00:46:00.287-07:00I hope to have a very very very (i don't want ...I hope to have a very very very (i don't want to end it if it's equivalent to decades LOL)very long marriage life, who doesn't want it? all of us wished to be with our current partner for life.. Good thing your relationship is God-centered and hopefully I could do it in mine too. Though we don't talk about religion/church and God, on our own we pray daily for our family's health and guidance. I know that He's just there always to remind us how should a relationship work and be like if challenges come up, glad to have a husband who will support you in every way. I will take that prayer challenge and will get back to you if I have time and tell my story.

It's been a real blessing to them, and has healed some difficulties they had been having.

The fact that you still love me and love me more touches my heart to a point you may never understand. You have forgiven me when I have hurt you and more importantly when the distractions of life have put you second place, third place and so on. I am blessed that you can love me enough to not have given up on me. I am proud to say you are my wife. You are beautiful in ways that I only know. You walk that walk of a wife as God so defined and I can only pray and hope that I can walk the walk of a Godly husband. Thank you for forgiving me when I need forgiving, thank you for standing beside me when I needed someone to hold my hand, thank you for being there for me when often time I may not or have not been there for you. Thank you for the "journey" and it is my prayer that we have many more years together to enjoy each other, serve the Lord our God together, and most importantly love today more than yesterday and live like it might be our last day together. I Love You Regina, more than I have ever shown. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16086432536680003579noreply@blogger.com
