45 Years.....Happy Anniversary to my husband!!

45 Years.........Happy Anniversary to my husband!!!

Proverbs 31:12 "She will do him good .........all the days of her life."

That's my commitment for whatever future God sees to give to you and me.

We have lived and loved, dreamed and watched our castles crumble and been hurt and forgiven. We have soared and we have fallen; we have been thirsty and we have been filled.

But never have we walked away. We've believed that "all" things will work for our good.

I purpose to continue to do you good. I want to please you.I want our relationship to be enjoyable. I want our marriage to produce and be a good investment. I want it to have special quality.  

I can't say our marriage has been a perfect one. It has not even been one where the feelings have always been charged and exciting. But I am committed to striving for a "good" one. 

Good is enough. Love is not a feeling; it's an action. It is a decision to make a choice to give up other choices. It is a good feeling and is freeing!. I am no longer a seeker of someone or some thing to make me happy. When I married, I was in it til death separates us. All my choices revolve around that day I made a vow.

So I keep building good things into our relationship. I commit to more:

Reassuring touches. Hand holding. Snuggles and kisses. Always a good thing!

I will be generous with compliments. Personal ones to you alone. Public ones to show others what a good person you are.  I will make sure my children see you as the special dad and husband that you are. Everyone already knows but it is good to reaffirm it.

I will keep rubbing your tired shoulders, and pamper you and keep your favorite chair open.

I will always serve you first at the table even when guests are present. It is good that others see and that you know that I honor you,

I will find more time to share laughter. Life can be so depressing. It is good to find the funny and see your eyes light up in the midst of it all! 

I will exhibit grace and modest attractiveness in my behavior, conversation and dress! I belong to you and I want you to be proud of me and not ever feel threatened! We both feel good with this security surrounding us!

I will keep making you coconut cream pies to make you smile. I will fold your socks and underwear and reorganize your drawers. I will drop everything and continue to meet you at the door with a smile and a kiss. I will please you.  I will help you. I will forgive you. I will be faithful and I will pray with and for you. 

I will stay committed because I made a good choice 45 years ago. I am your wife and I will do you good every day and all my days! Staying in a marriage and building commitment is the best of "good"!  It's LOVE!

 

I am blessed to have the good privilege of wishing you, the Love of my Life, a Happy 45th Anniversary! I'm still on board!
