why I love being married

 In honour of our six month wedding anniversary , I thought I would share six things I love about being married...  

I tell everyone how wonderful it is to be married, and here are just a few reasons why...

i.  I love knowing that my husband chose me above all others to be his wife.  

This makes me feel truly loved.

And I feel honoured to be married to a man I can be proud of...  

I love calling him my husband, and hearing him say that I am his wife.

ii.  I love being the one to give him children. 

I love that a tiny life, part him and part me, is being knit together in my womb... 

I love how much closer I felt to my husband upon discovering I was expecting his child.

iii.  I love being protected and cared for.  

I love that my husband takes his role as protector very seriously.

I seldom feel anxious or fearful.

I love that my husband is a compassionate man...

I had a difficult time in my first trimester, but Rucus took care of me by trying to cheer me up and encouraging me when I was feeling so sick and tired.

iv.  I love having a husband to dress up for.  

I love that by wearing something feminine and becoming, and taking a little extra time to put on a touch of make up, just how he likes it, brings such pleasure to my husband.

I love that my husband sees me at my worst and loves me anyway.

v.  I love that I get to do everyday life with my best friend.  

Sometimes it is simply going shopping for groceries together, or taking the dog for a walk.

I love that when difficulties arise, we can work through them together, hand in hand.

As a single young woman, I struggled with loneliness, even though I was surrounded by sisters and was blessed to have a few really special friendships...

Marriage has filled that deep emptiness I felt.  

I love that I no longer feel out of place in a crowd, because I have someone to stand beside, someone who loves and accepts me regardless of my flaws.

vi.  I love that my husband knows me completely.  

I am fully his and he mine.  

I love that I can talk about anything with him, from my deepest feelings to less important matters...

I love that I can trust him implicitly, and rest in knowing he will always seek to point me to Christ and lead his family in the ways of the Lord.

Marriage is the greatest adventure...  I feel truly blessed.

This time last year, I had no inkling that I would be celebrating six months of marriage and be just fourteen weeks away from meeting our baby boy...

I give praise to the Lord for doing exceedingly and abundantly more than we could ask or think.

Have you read the story of how I met my husband?  If not, hop over here to read how the Lord brought us together.  

Did you know we were only in a courtship for two weeks before deciding we wanted to get married?

Dear friend, If you are still single, may I encourage you to continue trusting the Lord for a husband.  It truly is worth waiting for the one the He has for you...

His timing is perfect.
