The Most Important Thing I’ve Learned From 6 Years Of Marriage

Last month Joe and I celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary.  When reflecting on the life we are building together I was struck by the feeling that my life with Joe is so much more beautiful than anything I could have dreamed up myself.  Six years of doing life together and the words of our pastor who married us ring true every day.  He quoted Ecclesiastes 4:12 saying that “a cord of 3 strands is not easily broken”.  He explained how when two people have a common bond with God, it makes a powerful “three cord strand”.  I’ve been humbled again and again with how God has showed up in our lives.  I’m working every day to be intentional about going with God and embracing everything that he has for us.  I’m trying to let go of my own expectations and plans so that I can make space for all the goodness he has for us.
