Married Again
Well, My Hubby and I got married again yesterday! It rather confused my children - they asked questions like "Do you have to get unmarried, and then married again?" "Can I be in your wedding?" " Are the youth going to be there to yell and hollar when you kiss this time?" (yes they really did the first time) Finally they understood that we were just saying to each other that we still loved each other and would marry one another all over again. By the way this Dec. will make 10 years for us! It was funny though - our oldest was coming down the hall talking to his friend after church and someone heard him say "My Mom and Dad are getting married today." Let me be sure to clarify - Our Bible Fellowship class just finished a marriage study and ended it with a covenant marriage ceremony. I wore white (in winter) for the occassion. We even had a reception with cake and punch! It truly was fun.
It has also really been a lot of fun reminiscing about our wedding and honeymoon(the first, more expensive one). I got some of those acrylic nails put on for the wedding, those things are hard to deal with! I caught one on fire while lighting a candle and I popped one off while playing pool. The kids laughed at that story. We looked at pictures and told the kids "our story." I think it's good for them to hear about it and know that Mommy and Daddy love each other. Thinking about them getting married one day is a scary thing to me. This world isn't getting more righteous - but I pray that we can at least give them a solid foundation and example to go by. We certainly aren't perfect - our kids can see that! My hubby and I try to make sure they hear us apologize to one another - and yes, even to them. Relationships are work and they need to see that we just work through it when it gets tough. Not alone of course - but with God's help! We simply just can't forgive without His help. We can't do what is right without help from God! He wills us to do good. I think that is all part of setting a good example - letting them see us fall short and God work in and through us when we admit our wrong. They can still see our selfishness and imperfect attitudes even if we try to hide them, so they need to see us do what is right when we've done what is wrong - or they will think that it's just ok to act like that. Ok, off my soapbox now LOL
All that to say I sure have a great Hubby and an even Greater Heavenly Father! I pray for protection of our marriage so we can keep those vows and stay together for life. I told my hubby that if he ever decided to divorce me now he'd have to do it 3 times since that's how many times we've been married (counting one time at a marriage retreat). I assured him it was just too much money to divorce someone 3 times Hahaha. He says if I ever leave he's going with me - so that's what I think I'll do too.
