Exactly 3 months from today, a ceremony will be held. It will feature a man and a woman who want to share with their friends and family how much they love each other and how happy they are for the love they have found. There will be close friends who will stand with them. People will share inspirational words. Vows will be spoken, music played, and some tears will most likely be shed.
This ceremony will not be their wedding. That happened in 1996.
This ceremony will be the culmination of a year of the restoration of that marriage; a celebration of what God has done and made possible for a couple who lost their way and found it again.
The purpose of this blog is to encourage others to hold on to the dreams and ideals of marriage with all of their hearts and all of their might. You can live happily ever after and dreams do come true, but it takes a lot more than wishing on a star. As James A Baldwin once said, “Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle; love is a war; love is a growing up.”
I hope you’ll join me for the next 90 days as I share a bit of the hopes, dreams, fears, mistakes, and ultimate victory that is our marriage.
I am a big fan. My husband and I have had our issues as well. We too are in the restoration business. I will be following your journey on your restoration.
It’s so encouraging to see that you are still following the blog. I hope all is well with you and your husband. I really had no intention of continuing the blog after last August 6, but it has become more popular than ever, so onward we go. Thanks so much for reading!
