On this day

37 years ago, in front of God and 400 guests, my husband and I made sacred vows. It was a glorious ceremony. After signing the marriage license, my father—who married us—looked up and said, “Different from what most believe, the hard part 
has just begun. Every day, for the rest of your life, give each other a reason to stay married to you.”

That was the best wedding gift we received!

So we both endeavored to heed his wise advice; sometimes searching our hearts for extra insight, determination, and perseverance. The result has been a satisfying and refreshing relationship long after the  honeymoon ended. Occasionally we are still asked, “Are you guys newlyweds?”

To which we reply, “What makes you think that?” Guess it's pretty obvious.
 
This doesn’t imply we have no miscommunication or problems. On the contrary! Even with difficult moments our focus can be adjusted . . . and I've done that a bunch. When I look over at Doug early in the morning, watch him from across a room, or even if I'm seething inside working up courage to apologize, I see the  wonderful guy I chose to be my life partner and am overwhelmed with joy. He  couldn’t be more perfect for me.  Every single day I’m thrilled when he walks into our home ~ and I don’t  even have to wait for him to take me into his arms!
