The last eight years have filled with ups and downs just as
our wedding vows promised. But through it all we've been able to laugh, talk
and sing our way through it all.
In honor of our continuing journey, here are two verses from our wedding ceremony.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
"Two are better than one, because they have a good
reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe
to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if
two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a
man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold
cord is not quickly broken."
I like this verse because it
speaks to the practical side of marriage. Life offers a lot challenges, and it's
good to have someone on your side. We are stronger together than we are
apart.
1 Corinthians 13:4-5
“Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor
others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of
wrongs."
Here's another powerful verse that was read
at our wedding. Even now it is a great reminder of how to deal with our
everyday life together. Don't get me wrong, I will always speak my mind and
give my honest opinions. But I'm reminded to be kind with my words and not to
react to every little thing.
