Yup, I've read this proverb many times, heard it many times, but when I read it this morning as part of my reading for the day I really thought about this. Ok, so picture some husband sitting up on the corner of his roof. Just picture it for a moment. I can pretty much say that there were times in my marriage, way long ago of course, that my husband probably would have wanted to sit up there. :) But this goes hand in hand with the biblical model of marriage. Husbands love your wives and wives respect your husbands. When we are following God's direction for marriage it is awesome!
I absolutely love my marriage and it is just keeps growing stronger. There is only one way for this to happen and that is through being transparent and surrendering completly to Christ. Never stop seeking to grow in Christ and never stop asking God to show you areas that you need to work on or change. We are always a work in progress so we will never "arrive" until we are in heaven.
My in-laws are in a weekly small group with a number of other older couples. They smiled when all the small groups began a study on marriage. Most of them have been married over 50 years. Yet I love what he said "never too old to learn something new." What a beautiful example. I just love them.
Today I am off to try out my new running shoes. I love that I already know that my husband will ask if he can come with me. :)
