Happy Happy Marriage

Our 15th anniversary is tomorrow, and I am in love with my beloved. When we were dating I told him, “You are twice what I expected,” to which he replied, “And half what you deserve.” But the truth is, the reverse is true.
He is twice as patient as I am. Twice as smart. Twice as naturally himself. Twice as good to me as I am to him… at least it seems to me lately.

See, I blew it yesterday and said all kinds of terrible things to him. So, today, I felt so ashamed that I wanted to run from him and from God…

Then first thing this morning–without me selecting it, or hitting play–my iPod played Barlow Girl’s “I need you to love me” and it felt like it was a love song I was singing to God, and to my wonderful husband, too.

I must try to be a better wife to my husband, and a better daughter to the Father, but,

“I’ll stop this pretending that I can somehow deserve what I already have.”
