For the past five days I've had a horrible ear infection. I haven't had one in years and had forgotten how awful they are. Thankfully my wonderful husband has been taking very good care of me. He makes me coffee and brings it to me in bed and has been helping out with the chores.
I'm truly blessed to have such a wonderful husband. He loves me and takes care of me even when I'm not sick. It's very sad to hear of marriages where neither the husband or the wife care for their spouse when they're sick. I've heard the comment made that "it's just because you're still newlyweds." To me that is no excuse for laziness in your marriage. Newlyweds or not, every husband and wife have a responsibility to each other and no length of time changes that.
In our church, the last few weeks have brought all the adult Sunday school classes together for a series of lessons on marriage. The lessons focus on various aspects of marriage. They have been very helpful. Even though Andy and I haven't even been married a year, there are a lot of trials that can come to a new marriage. We have definitely seen our share of trials in the last 10 months, but thankfully the Lord has been there through them all and ultimately every trial has brought us closer to God and to each other.
I'm so thankful that God blessed me with such a wonderful man. He truly is more than I ever thought I would have in a husband. God truly does bless. I know I have some readers who aren't married, and my advise for you is to be patient. The perfect man or woman for you is out there and the Lord will bring him or her in His time. As most of my friends and family will attest to, patience has never been one of my virtues, but I'm so glad that I waited for the perfect one God had for me. There is such a peace in knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are with the one God created for you. Marriage is wonderful and truly worth the wait!!!
