Marriage is a sacred covenant of unwavering love and devotion, beautifully exemplified in Ruth’s commitment to Naomi, echoing the selfless love we are called to in our relationships. True love is not just about feelings but about choosing faithfulness, walking together through every season, and honoring the commitment made before God. Just as Ruth declared, "Where you go, I will go," a strong marriage is built on a foundation of trust, sacrifice, and a deep, abiding love that mirrors God’s own steadfastness toward us.
I have had the joy of being married for almost 28 years! Through it all I have to say, marriage is a wild, wonderful, and sometimes messy adventure. After all these years together, I can honestly say it’s one of the hardest yet most rewarding journeys and I wouldn't want life to be any other way.
God loves marriage, and I love that He didn’t leave us to figure it out alone—His Word is packed with wisdom, encouragement, and even romance to help us build a love that lasts.
As you meditate on the beautiful word of God daily, may you revel in the beauty and joy of marriage! May you find strength, peace, and the assurance that God is working in you and through you to be a light in your marriage.
