Jason and I celebrated our 6th month of marriage on March 28th. We delight in remembering these past months and find pure joy in the gift of oneness we now share. Surely the mark of 6 months should be cherished. We classed up for a lovely dinner out in the Village of Wauwatosa. From the savory food to the handsome company, I have never shared a more lovely meal. 2 hours passed with conversation of love, wedding nostalgia, and laughter.
Every newlywed couple is asked this question 10x10 times: "How is married life?"
Instead of reluctantly answering for the 100th time, J and I truly love these multiple opportunities to share how grace has encouraged us in our new adventure together. This single question opens a door for us to show our contentment in the blessing of our vows to each other. Our answer usually starts like this: "Marriage is amazing. Our circumstances in life right now can be challenging but marriage gives us joy. We have never laughed more in our entire lives." In other words, circumstances including finances, my lack of full time employment and mental/emotional health are difficult. However, we do not let these things discourage our marriage. If anything, these said hardships strengthen us as a couple. My husband's fruits of the spirit rub off on me and teach me to look beyond myself into the face of grace.
This is the beginning of 60+ years of marriage. I am eagerly looking forward to our life together. Till death do us part.
