Today, my one
true love and I celebrate 30 years of marriage!
That’s a bit
of a mind-boggling number, because in some ways the marriage journey that Jenni
and I have traveled together has flown by. In other ways, I feel like we’ve
earned every one of those 30 years.
What’s Our Secret?
It’s hard to
point to a single thing that I would say is THE key to keeping your marriage
strong and healthy, because a great marriage takes time and attention to a lot of little things every day. But if I had to pick
one thing, it would be Jesus. He is the foundation of our marriage and our
example of relentless love and grace. It is the love he displays for his bride
(that’s you and me, by the way) that has taught me most about how to love my
bride. It’s what I refer to as the bridal
paradigm.
If you want
to know more of our “secrets” to a long, happy marriage, I have a new article
up on Your Tango called “Why
After 30 Years Of Marriage, The Best Is Yet To Come.” It talks about the
importance of always believing that the best years of your marriage are still
ahead of you.
If you want
to know a bit more about our history, which started way back when Jenni and I
met in sixth grade, you can read it in the post called “Our Love Story.”
Let me close
by saying a public thank you to the love of my life.
Sweetheart,
I am so thankful for you and for our marriage. I can honestly say that I could not be the man I am today without your love, encouragement, support and patience. You bless me more than I can possibly describe. You still capture my heart with one glance of your eye.Here’s to another 30! The best is yet to come!
