Today is my three year wedding anniversary. Perhaps I am still in newlywed stage, but I must tell you this marriage thing has been pretty easy. Yes, we have had some bad days. We have argued. We have disagreed. But for the most part, my marriage has been a true blessing, and my husband, the greatest gift. This is a far cry from what we hear on television. Watching the newest prime time comedy, one would think marriage was a joke, too difficult for anyone to partake of with ease. For some people, particularly those who did not think it through before taking the plunge, marriage can be a hassle, but when you have a marriage that is centered on God, things become a little easier.
We didn't do anything major. There were no cards or flowers, but I woke up next to my husband and that is enough. Some women get caught up in the romance and presents. These are nice, but I prefer love on a consistent, everyday basis. I don't want to be treated like garbage every other day of the year and be surprised with roses on my anniversary. The roses would mean nothing. They would wither away. But love that is true, and consistent is never out of bloom. For all those basking in the glow of true love, congratulations, and may God bless you with many more.
