Marriage

Scott and I have been married for 10.5 years.  We dated for 4 years before being married.  It hasn't always
been an easy road.  We have certainly had our bumps, bruises, and complete meltdowns along the way.  However, through God's grace and the power of forgiveness and acceptance we continue to grow a deeper love for one another.  I have found when we are both growing spiritually, our relationship is in a really great place.  Notice I emphasized both!  As I look back I realize our best moments, besides when our children were born, were when we were both growing and excited about our most important relationship, our relationship with Christ.  There were times I was growing and he wasn't and vice versa.  Ironically, those times usually were some of our most difficult times because of an imbalance in priorities.  I will admit, sadly, Scott and I have not really been one of those couples that routinely pray and/or do devotions together.  I often feel convicted about our lack of connection with Christ in unison.  We are working on it...  So, with all of that said, while I was reading different blogs today, I found this one, The Generous Wife.  It gives ideas of how to serve, love, and support your honey!  Check it out....and think about your own marriage.  Can you think of high points?  Can you remember all too well the low points?  Do you notice any patterns or trends?  What are ways you can foolproof your marriage, best to your ability?
