Once I was finished with my post for today, and quite proud of it, God called the verse to my mind that says to speak "only such a word as is good for edification", so I had to start over.
It is amazing to watch my future husband grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ. I rest completely assured in his ability to lead, not as the world defines a leader or a man, but as Christ defines one. I am comforted about my future as I see him leading into God's calling and will, and I will joyfully follow.
As we are surrounded with failing and/or failed marriages, we are constantly confronted with what is a well-meaning forewarning, "don't worry, you won't want to be near each other once you are married", or, "see how you feel about one another after a few years of marriage", etc.
Well, I can say that they are accurate when defining the mainstream and worldly picture of marriage.
However, Christ is the center of the universe, and He is the reason why everything doesn't fall apart. He holds every atom within its boundaries, and if He were to remove His hand from sustaining the universe, all would cease to exist.
In the same way, if Christ is the center of your marriage, it will not and can not fall apart. Sure, everyone says, "that won't happen to us; we're different". But Jeff and I do not say this in vain. We will not fail as long as Christ is the center of our marriage. He is the center of our lives, and by default He will be the center of our marriage.
Praise Jesus, from whom no area of our existence escapes His lordship!
