If you are married you know that’s no small feat! Marriage is hard but I told Jonny I never realized how selfish I was until I got married and had kids! ????
When we first met and were falling in love it was what hallmark movies are made of, seriously it was pretty epic. I could probably make you cry if I told you the story, but 3 months into marriage we woke up from the dream to face the harsh reality. It was rough, real rough, I could probably make you cry different kinds of tears if I told that story as well. ????????????♀️
The thing is the rough bumpy and at times scary road of marriage has actually been the biggest gift to me, it’s made me have to take a hard look at myself over and over, reviling the dis-functional broken parts of myself that desperately need the healing that only God has to offer.
The revelation that has comes through being in close covenant relationship with someone cause’s me to have to aline myself with love over and over. Which in turn had only made me become the person I’ve always wanted to be.
Every year, everyday we choose into love and in turn a love and respect has grown in ways that I find myself “feeling” more in love with Jonny than I did all the way back when we first met. We tell each other all the time, if I could do it over again I would still choose you and everyday we do even when we don’t “feel” like it.
If you’re in the thick of it, I sooo get it. There are so many times we wanted to give up and almost did. But every time we choose in again, on the other side of that choice has been some of the biggest personal breakthrough we have gotten. Seriously every fight or disconnection between us has become the next place where God wants to bring breakthrough.
Hold on, keep growing ???? and trust that if you both choose in, God can take your brokenness and turn it into something beautiful.
We are proof!
God Can Take Your Brokenness And Make Something Beautiful
