Today is our one year anniversary. One year of being married, learning how to live together, learning how to become one. It’s amazing, really, to love and be loved by someone. Our first year of marriage has been hard. We've argued a lot, kissed a lot, and I gave him the silent treatment a lot. I slammed a few doors and cried somewhat regularly. There were people who told us we weren’t ready to get married at the ripe ages of 18 and 19 but we knew that nobody is ever really ready to get married. They may think they are..but when is a human ever truly prepared for putting another human first? I'd have to say the most shocking thing for me in marriage has been how well he knows me. He knows more about me than I even know about me. He knows all my flaws, my scars, my weaknesses and somehow he still loves me...still accepts me. This is so hard for me to understand sometimes. How can someone love me so much when they know everything that is wrong with me? How hes still married to me is way beyond me. Its incredibly humbling. He shows me Christs love constantly and it leaves me amazed. I don't deserve him.
We've been together a little over two years and married for a year. Being with him has been a journey; a ride of a lifetime. I can't wait to see where we are in the next 5 years. I am so grateful for my husband everyday and am blessed by his example. The Lord is shaping me into the person He wants me to be…and I’m thankful that He uses marriage as a way to do so.
happy anniversary my love!
