Empowered to Love Your Spouse By Emily Rose Massey "We love because He first loved us" ( 1 John 4:19, NIV). December 5, 2009. It may have only been a little over thirteen years ago that my husband and I said our "I do's," but that special day sure does feel like a lifetime ago. Time tends to do that to us, doesn't it? Perhaps, this feeling isn't the fact that physical time has gone by and that we have grown another year older. Perhaps, it is because with time comes change – for better and for worse. I know my husband and I have each changed since December 5, 2009, especially after we both became parents! Oh my, did we experience changes in our marriage once that happened! Often, in marriage, the changes may happen slowly or small enough that we don't notice it right away, but when it comes to the person we have vowed to spend the rest of our life with, it is difficult to ignore when you finally realize that time has shaped you each in unique ways and it is starting to cause a lot of friction between the two of you. |
