I didn't think getting married would change anything, but it did. I feel more connected to Joel and it's almost as good as it was in the beginning of our relationship. We made a commitment to one another in front of God and our witnesses; it's permanent and that makes me happy. I think the change is in my heart. I have God's favor again and I can stop feeling guilty about us living together before we got married.
I know to some of you, this sounds ridiculous. I'm 53 and Joel is 44. We're both old enough to have made such a decision. But it actually did bother me that I wasn't living my life as God would have me live it. Now I'm reading books on being a good wife. (Any suggestions?)
A place to unload the worries of the day and celebrate the knowledge I am not alone in this crazy world!
You'll never believe this but my favorite book on marriage is Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands. I'm NOT a fan of Dr. Laura cuz think she's too extreme but I really enjoyed her book and have recommended it many times. :D
ReplyDeleteI think I might have that book somewhere. I'm reading Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus on my kindle, but will check and see if that book is on kindle.
ReplyDeleteI just downloaded the book to my Kindle. Thanks for the recommendation, Amy!
