Amen!!

I was reading a post from Mckmama's blog (see the button on the right) and this confession she has about her marriage brought tears to my eyes.
Quoted from her blog:
God's will for my marriage is not for me to try to manufacture some false sense of equal partnership with my husband, in that he must meet my needs and honor me and make me happy before I will feel willing to reciprocate the same for him.

I am beginning to strive to speak nicely to my husband even when he is not doing the same. I seek to respect him even if he is not acting respectable. After all, I enjoy being loved even when I am unlovable!

And God always loves us even when we are unlovable.

This is so true! Todd and I have been talking a lot about marriage, lately. It's amazing to see that this is a talk that other people have. We came to this realization recently together, as well. She recommends the book Sacred Marriage and that her and her husband read it together every night before bed. This sounds like a good idea to me. I want to continue perfecting my marriage, too!
