I met my hubby when I was 15 years old. We were in a Science class together at school. I do NOT believe in love at first sight, however I did have the oddest sensation of having always known him the first time our eyes met across the room.
We are truly soul mates. Yes that CAN happen. I firmly believe that he was an answered prayer from God. I grew up in a really hard mentally abusive family and when I first became a Christian I prayed for God to send me some help so that I could follow him better. Shortly after that here came hubby.
After our first date hubby quizzed me about my beliefs and the quiz ended when he felt sure I was a Christian. "I really like you," he had said,"but I wouldn't have asked you out again if you weren't a Christian."
Now some of you out there have different beliefs and that is fine for you, but a truly long lasting relationship NEEDS to be based on similar beliefs, no matter what they are. I was 15 in 1978 and we were married in 1981. You do the math.
We have had some VERY hard times, being that young when we were married we struggled with a lot of growing up as well as the normal marriage issues. No matter what we always worked it out and tried to put each other first. I know however that in the beginning he did a lot more sacrificing and giving than I did. It took a while to develop our own life and stop emulating the lives of our parents.
My hubby is very intelligent, kind, funny and wise. (and cute!) He is NOT a farmer, but he has always allowed me to express myself in what ever way I needed to. He keeps me safe and sane. He is the practical one and has always worked hard to keep me fed, clothed, insured and happy. I tend to chase clouds and start a lot of "projects". He has taught me to sort my dreams and finish what I start. He has always been comfortable in his masculinity and has never felt threatened by a woman who works on cars, does woodworking, fishes, or kills animals. He is proud of my gifts and thoroughly enjoys eating any weird thing I cook for him and put on the table. He is the ABSOLUTELY BEST parent my kids have. They cherish and respect him - and so do I. I am proud of him.
The best thing about my hubby is that he is always there for me. I can take off my tough hide and be soft and vulnerable around him. I laugh with him often. I trust him totally to always take care of and truly love me.
Here is to the last 31+ years and the eternity ahead. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
