- Love & War, John and Stasi Eldredge
Five years of marriage. A lot has happened in our lives. It has definitely been the most eventful 5 years of my life. I think I can say I've had my highest highs and lowest lows in these 5 years. Brent and I got married, furthered our careers, took a 4 month hiatus and traveled through Europe, moved to a new place, got a dog and went through career changes. On the negative side, me being laid off more than once was stressful. The regular ups and downs of marriage are stressful. We've had to learn to rely on each other no matter what, which is exactly how it should be. I've learned about fighting for one another.
I think what makes Brent and I work is how passionate we both are. One of my favorite quotes is "love is friendship set on fire." That definitely describes us. We have a fiery spark between us. Sometimes it's the source of us clashing, but God also gave us personalities that complement each other so that we work out our differences.
For anyone still reading who hasn't puked yet (surely I'm not being too mushy), I just want to say to my husband that you inspire me. That's why I fell for you. It continues to draw me to you and flows into other areas of my life. I continue to feel that we have a mission together that's just beginning. I appreciate all you do for me. I pray that we get better together over time. How 'bout another, say, 50 years?
