My husband (Jimmy) and I are about to celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary. What keeps us going in this day and age of 51% divorce rate, is simply remembering what brought us together in the first place. Our intense love for God, our mutual love of worship music (Jimmy's a worship song leader and I'm a Choir Director) and the usually things that unite lovers (he's so cute to me). In ten years you develop beautiful memories and traditions. Even joint heartbreaks bond us closer; like the lost of someone you both love. The tapestry of family start to interweave into one another where it becomes no longer
your cousin and
my sister but it becomes
our family. With our precious grandsons as the finishing touch on the Masterpiece that God created called
'FAMILY'. God has a
'pretty good' formula on how to stay in love:
I corthinthians 13:4-8
Love is patient,
Love is kind
Love does not envy
Love does not boast
Love is not proud
Love is not rude
Love is not self-seeking
Love does not easily anger
Love keeps no record of wrongs
Love does not delight in evil
Love rejoices with the truth
Love always protects
Love always trusts
Love always hopes
Love always perseveres
Love never fails
Use this as a check list for yourself, good luck and God Bless
