Today is the day after Valentine’s Day. You may be basking in the glow of an amazing night with your spouse. You may be disappointed in the lack of love expressed to you yesterday, or you may be indifferent to it all. At any rate, you are still married and your love matters as much today as it did on the day you said “I do”.
Valentine’s Day is just one day of 365 in the year.
It isn’t any more special, unless this is the only day you express your love. We pray this isn’t the case. Marriage is worthy of celebrating all year long. This is why we have written a book that offers 365 Marriage Tips to help you stay focused on the one relationship that matters everyday of the year.
Pause today and thank God for one thing you love most about your spouse. And then when you have a chance express your thankfulness to your spouse. Even if you have said it a thousand times before…say it again!
“But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.” – Hebrews 3:13 ESV
The Romantic Vineyard 
I have to say I’m grateful
not only for my wife,
but also for the fateful
role cancer has in life.
I once walked a different road
as a man whose aspiration
blinded him to what he owed
the Lord for this privileged station.
Now, at last, it’s plain to see
my life was never mine,
but something always meant to be
treasured of the Divine.
It’s a blessing that the demons of agony and fear
have brought me to realize, I’m what He holds most dear.

This reminds me of a book John Piper has written titled, Don’t Waste Your Cancer.
“My life was never mine, but something always meant to be treasured of the Divine.” Truth!

Indeed, Debi, it’s not something to be wasted. I would never go back to being who I was, even if that included the full restoration of health.
I have finally learned how to love, and how to be loved, and there is nothing better than this.
