Today is my wedding anniversary. My wife and I have been married 9 years today, and to tell you he truth, I don’t know where the time has gone. I find myself
today reflecting not only on our time together (I sent flowers to her at work) but also how God has played a part in both of our lives.
"What God has joined, let no one separate."
God had always been a part of our single lives, but it is awesome to think how he became an even greater presence when we wed.
We have been blessed with two beautiful daughters, both of our families have been relatively healthy, everyone still enjoys being together as a family, and we have wonderful friends.
One of the greatest things that we have done together as a couple was to attend a married couples retreat this Spring. It was an opportunity to for us to take time out and focus on US as not just parents, but as two people, who fell in love, and who continue to strive to have God in our lives. We will get another opportunity to share this retreat experience with our kids on June 6th, when we attend a Family Retreat at the Jesuit Spiritual Center in Milford.
So, as I look back at our lives together so far, I can say that I have been truly blessed, and continue to be blessed not only as a husband, but as a father as well. I pray that I can be a good example for my children, a loving and giving husband to my wife, and a better child of God, as he continues with us on our life journey together as husband and wife.
Yours in Christ.
