Marriage Monday~

" What great thing is there for two human souls
To feel they are joined...
so strenghten each other...
to be with each other in silent unspeakable memories."

George Eliot

Dear Friends,

Christine is hosting Marriage Monday and I have wanted to participate for awhile and love talking about my husband and family...LOL so this was perfect. I will enjoy reading the other participants and gleaning from their wonderful posts and marriages.

I love these verses in regards to marriage:

Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies.

Proverbs 31:10 KJV

Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

Ephesians 5:33 KJV

A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband….

Proverbs 12:4 KJV

Let love and faithfulness never leave you …write them on the tablet of your heart.

Proverbs 3:3 NIV

Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

Ephesians 5:33 KJV

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned….

Proverbs 31:30-31

I love my wonderful husband dearly and love spending time with him and my children. I feel so blessed to have them in my life. My husband works so hard to provide for us all financially, emotionally and spiritually that I love doing the small things that make his life easier and being a good help meet. I feel it is so important to make my home welcoming and gracious to not only visitors but my family. Making each person feel important ,cherished and listened to. We have four children two of which are still at home and so we do lots of family nights and spending quality time together.

It has been hard over the years with my husbands work schedule to get away alone or leave the children for periods of time. But I find it so important to have date nights or special evenings dedicated to just him. I love making special treats for the kids , then having a special dinner for just us. Recently I made our room even nicer with special touches like a luxurious bed and breakfast. We have a antique cameo bed and fireplace that I have enjoyed making over. My husband has left me little presents , notes and roses where I would find them . I secretly love leaving him notes in his brief case, pillow,. chocolate on his pillow and special treats he will find also.

We have taken sweet day and weekend trips, going to sweet bed and breakfasts when the time avails. We treasure all those memories. As our children grow I know we will be planning even more. I have enjoyed making us special picnics , treasure hunts, going to the movies,or just going to a quiet restaurant and talking. We love sitting on our deck entertaining friends and family but especially treasure our moments alone just enjoying each others company. With his commuting and traveling we don't get to get away much but do loving camping and little slices of time.

Our families are spread out all over the country but do enjoy it when we can spend time with them and get together.

Enjoy your day and wonderful marriages my friends.

In his endless love,

Angel ():)
