Life Partners

While I am posting sickeningly sweet “awww shucks” pictures I thought I might as well continue and share one more. This one is in honor of Ted’s and my celebration of our anniversary this week.

On the 11th of August we celebrated 7 years of marriage. We both agreed that it has been an adventure, but one we would sign up for all over again if we had to. :) It is a good thing we both feel that way, because partnered relationships only grow with mutual and continual recommitment to the relationship. I often say in wedding sermons that love in Christian marriage isn’t just a “mushy romantic feeling” (though it can be mushy and romantic at times). Christian love often is a commitment to do the loving thing, even when you don’t feel like it. Whenever I have the privileged opportunity to share those words at a wedding, I too appreciate the reminder about the loving commitment that it takes to nurture and strengthen a relationship. Happy anniversary to us and to all of you partnered folks out there, in the hope of celebrating many many more anniversaries!

    Oh Mindy and Ted many belated congratulations and best wishes for another 7 in the great adventure.

    I am finding out for my self about all this stuff call love – and sometimes it is very lovely and mushy and most times its not I am going to need so many years to learn this stuff – suspect we all do.
