Marriage is more than the white dress,
the fancy party, the sparkling ring…
Marriage is NOT one day.
It’s two people making a decision to live life – together.
Always.
Marriage is sacrifice.
Marriage is a million moments of letting go.
Marriage is effort expended with no expectation of reciprocity.
Marriage is also
a trillion tiny blessings, showing up like bursts of light in darkness.
Marriage is open-ended hope for a good future with another person.
Marriage multiplies the good and divides the bad.
Yes. Marriage is hard.
But who ever said something priceless comes easily?
Tell your spouse you’d do it all over again…

Lovely post. Thank you.
Yes, marriage is hard, even though we don’t believe that when we are ready to say, “I do.” But it is so worth it to be intimately connected with another person who can mirror for me what God wants to mature in me.
