I can't believe I am sitting here writing that Morgan and I have been married for six whole months. It seems like just yesterday that we were planning a wedding and a move a thousand miles away. It hasn't been easy but it has been a wonderful and fun journey so far. We have had our many obstacles and have learned the true meaning of our vows.
For better or worse... I can't really say there has been more "worse" than better but we definitely have had our trials. From the beginning it has been hard to be away from my family and I have had to ask God daily for guidance and strength and it has also been hard for me to feel like I fit in my new life but I wouldn't call it worse I only call it character building. I have had my hard times and my times where I have questioned if I am doing the right thing but I feel God is only putting us in these situations to help us grow stronger and build our marriage.
For richer and poorer...we have been up and down on this aspect. From dishing out money for bills and our endless debt to having to furbish our new apartment. Then having no a/c to the many hospital trips We definitely haven't had an abundence of money but what we have has is an overflow of love and happiness for being together. What I feel God is teaching us is to be lucky for what we do have and to also work hard for what we want. Not everyone is as lucky as us and we should look at our blessings and not our "debts".
In sickness and in health...In a way I giggle at this one. You may think I am crazy but all I can do is laugh because God has given us our share of sickness. One month after we were married Morgan broke his ankle and then a month after that I sprained mine. Morgan had an allergic reaction on his face and then I ended up sick for a month ending with a 5 hour hospital stay with gastric problems. It seems every time we get over an issue God hands us another one but again I only laugh because I know he is only shaping us. It may not be a fun shaping but I know in the end you can only praise God.
To love and to cherish...This is one thing we have or never will have a problem with. I love him more and more each day and all these troubles only make it stronger. I never imagined marriage to be this way...it is so so much more than I ever dreamed and even with all the problems I wouldn't trade it for the world. Not one second and it will be that was TIL DEATH DO US PART.
Todays verse: Mark 10: 6-9
6 "But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female.' 7 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, 8 and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."
