Learning to be Present

People are always asking questions.  When we were just friends, people asked: "Aren't you two going to ever date?"  When we did start dating freshman year of college, the constant question was: "How long before you two get engaged?"  When we got engaged senior year, conversations with new people usually included: "When is the wedding?"  We actually weren't sure of our wedding date until 2-3 months of being engaged.  Now that we're married, we keep getting asked: "When are you having children?"  What?

All of these questions are just conversation starters, and they really do show someone cares, so we aren't upset when people ask for updates on our life.

4 Months Later

Since the wonderful March 15, 2014, we have experienced how fun and difficult being married is, but we would have it no other way.  If it were easy, we would not be relying on Him for our strength, and if we did not need Him, our marriage would not be broadcasting the Good News.  We are realizing the reality that “Truth without love ruins oneness, and love without truth gives the illusion of unity but actually stops the journey and the growth.  The solution is grace.” (The Meaning of Marriage, page 163)."
