Love and Marriage-Twogether Forever

When I said I do just 5 short months after meeting my man I am sure I was in lust-my eyes were bigger than my heart and I lept without really checking to be sure I would land on solid ground when I came down off the high of love I was immersed in. 15 years later I have leaped and landed many times-coming down off a high to experience lows of job loss unemployment bankruptcy and other inexplicable losses to go up on a high so far that I never thought I would ever touch the ground. Being in lust grew quickly into love - a love that is a gift only GOD couldve created for us. Unconditional no holds barred love. I never thought I would ever find someone who could love me as much as my man does. He gives me daily doses of love and tells me often that he is proud of me. I never had that growing up - at least not until I was 15 and had a family who not only gave me a home but allowed my heart to heal and realize that love didnt come with conditions. Such is my marriage a space created to bring into completion that which GOD drew on our hearts 15 yrs ago and is still making into the most unique tapestry to ever exist. A love that grows daily through the midst of challenges and intense joy. A love that has never been created before-just made for us to continue on the journey-to experience each other and to know that this love is a unconditional devoted covenant that is developing every day-to know such love is to be given a gift-a glimpse of the love of Christ here on earth.
