a little insight into marriage: it's not easy.

oh yes, i could sit here and lie, tell you that everything is always perfect, a veritable stream of beauty and love, unrestrained by a painful moment or a few hurt feelings.

another little insight into marriage: it's amazing.

i started to ponder the seasons verses in ecclesiates chapter 3, and applied to the concept of marriage, how there are so many seasons in life, and how those seasons affect us, and because they affect us, they also have a profound effect on marriage.

i was going to ramble more about this, but found this devo online and it brought a few tears to my eyes.  give it a read - it's a keeper...

"If I could find a way to regularly appear as outwardly joyful as I inwardly feel whenever I reflect on how blessed I am to have such a mate, I'd go a long way towards helping fulfill the purpose for this marriage..."

i have an amazing soul mate, and yes, things get messy sometimes, but i am truly blessed by his heart daily.
