We also had a lot of stuff happend when we first married, I got sick, there were layoff, ect...but I believe its those things that have made us and our marriage strong. Blessing to you and your family!<br /><br />KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11316553683221058312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859334581397580560.post-1329126731960730302010-11-23T16:40:14.009-06:002010-11-23T16:40:14.009-06:00It's been a while since I stopped by your blog...It's been a while since I stopped by your blog and something just sort of led me here tonight...it was this post.<br /><br />The timeliness of this is uncanny: my relationship is fine and strong, but we just have to keep walking thru first one fire and then another. It never occurred to me that there was an enemy of a happy marriage. <br /><br />Now I know the source, I know the way to stop it-to Pray. And to pray hard.<br /><br />Thank You.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01754343134692490087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859334581397580560.post-56127769130978759572010-11-19T17:00:45.989-06:002010-11-19T17:00:45.989-06:00Sibi-

We were in our 17th year of marriage and some days I wonder how we made it through those first few years but I do know how and why. And reading your post just solidifies that. We grew up a lot together in those first few years. <br />Thanks for sharing these amazing words.AmyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06896685877243420950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859334581397580560.post-10185593738282566502010-11-19T13:34:49.478-06:002010-11-19T13:34:49.478-06:00Oh such wisdom you have Miss S!

I love that I know that this wasn't easy for you to write because that makes it so much more for me. I have thought many times about this subject over the days since we spoke and the truth of it has become even more clear to me. Thank you for trusting us with this part of your life and going somewhere that was not easy so that God could use your words to bring healing to families. I am so excited to pursue this in my own life (BTW, hubby brought home my fav. choc. last night).

I also think wives should likewise become students of our husbands. We should shower them with RESPECT; women tend to love and neglect to respect. Our husbands need our respect. They, too, love to be loved by actions that show that we know their hearts.

I picked up the computer and sat on the couch with tear filled eyes. This blessed me and ministered to me and I will print it out and put it in my journal that holds all of my life's lessons in it over the past year along with wonderful words of love from my husband. I have printed out every email that he has sent me the last year and a half. thank you for sharing your heart through this post! and for sharing God's heart as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
