Today marks my fifth wedding anniversary. I can honestly say I am more in love with my wife today than I was five years ago. Here are some reflections on marriage five years later. In another five years, I may look back on this list and realize how naïve I was. I hope not though.
- “In sickness and in health” can really foul up your “for richer or for poorer.”
- You will forget your wedding vows, but you’ll never forget your wife’s smile.
- Sometimes the lowest points in life are the highest points in marriage.
- If you want to realize how selfish you are, get married. If you’d rather not know that about yourself, stay single.
- If “I love you” is the foundation, “I’m sorry” and “I forgive you” are the bricks and mortar.
- There’s no better way to learn your spouse’s heart than to pray together.
- Sometimes it’s more about commitment than love.
- Men and women are different. Not wrong, just different.
- Men and women think differently. Not wrong, just different.
- Men are visual. If it is round and curvy, it has our attention. Women are aural. They like to hear themselves talk. Consequently, they will get mad if we’re looking at that which is round and curvy while they are talking.
- God laughs when you make plans.
- You don’t need kids to be a happy family.
- There are always new things to discover about each other.
- Five years ago, it was fascinating to me just to watch her sleep. Five years later, that hasn’t changed.
Okay, that’s enough being mushy for at least another five years.
