We love celebrating our anniversary. We make much of what God has done in our lives individually and in our relationship. There are so many stories of disappointments, sicknesses, accidents, celebrations, victories and awards. All of them tell the story of us.
Last Saturday was our actual anniversary and Tom made reservations at The Capital Grille. To say I was excited is an understatement. I love it when Tom plans something special; when he does, he goes all out.
The setting was beautiful.
The food was cooked to perfection.
to a great night
The staff was friendly. We even had the manager stop by to wish us a Happy Anniversary. When he heard how long we’ve been married, he shared how he has only been married two years. He then proceeded to ask us this question:
“What is the secret to a lasting marriage?”
Without hesitation we gave the answer.
“Jesus! He is the one who has helped us through our worst days and made us better as a result.”
The manager said he asks this question often. When he goes home, he shares the answers with his wife to help their marriage endure.
What a healthy practice this young husband is doing. It made us smile.
What practices do you and your spouse have to help your marriage grow? One thing is sure, it takes being intentional towards each other to keep from drifting apart.
