For today’s marriage Monday segment, I thought I would publicly praise God and thank Him for my wife. We joined the throng of people who “celebrate their love” on Valetine’s Day last Thursday. In commenting to someone I was visiting with about this, my response was for someone who is a Christian husband, functioning like the Bible says, everyday is valentine’s day. We don’t need culture to dictate to us when we romance our wives, we are to be laying our lives down everyday out of love for them. Anyway, we did celebrate V-day. We arranged childcare for Andrew, then left to go to Wichita (about 45 minutes away). I suprised Meg by getting her some shoes she has been wanting. Then we ate at Jason’s Deli (which serves Dublin Dr. Pepper). We shopped at Border’s. Then went to the movies and watched National Treasure: Book of Secrets. All in all, was a good time and felt encouraged and communicated well.
My wife is pregnant with our next child, but I could not be more happier married to anyone. The Proverbs 31 woman receives praise from her husband at the gates, I want Meg to know my praise publicly. I am so thankful for her service to me, Andrew and our family. She works hard. I know she gets tired, especially in these days, but she perseveres through that and always seeks to be a blessing to me. So, here I am, praising God for the gift He has given me in a wife, specifically Meghan. I couldn’t be happier!
