Five Fabulous Years

It has arrived. Our 5 Year Wedding Anniversary. I guess we're no longer newlyweds anymore. Just an old married couple. That's alright with us though. I received a card from David this morning. He wrote in it, "That was a fast 5 years. Sign me up for the rest of my life =)." Too cute.

I know it's "just" 5 years, but in today's society that can be considered a long time. As with anyone we're constantly learning new things about eachother and ourselves In addition, our lives are ever-changing. However, if I were to write a book as to how we've made it this far, and continue to make it another 100+ years, I'd have to say this. Love and respect each other. When you wake up, greet one another with a hug and a "Good morning." Before leaving for work say, "Have a good day, I love you." When you arrive home from work, rise to meet each other, give a hug and ask the genuine question of, "How was your day?" and listen intently as you partner goes on, whether it's a complaint or they want you to share in their excitement. Every evening before going to bed pray together. Even if it's just a , "Thank you Jesus for today." It's amazing how those few moments can draw you closer to one another. Do not go to bed angry, even if it calls for a long night. And be sure the last words out of your mouth are, "Good night, I love you."
